Living Football, Semi Automated Offside Technology

In the latest episode of Living Football, we start with a look at FIFA at the semiautomated offside technology that will be used at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Chairman of FIFA s Referees Committee, Pierluigi Collina and FIFA s Director of Technology and Innovation, Johannes Holzmüller explain how the technology will offer a support tool for the VAR team and the onfield officials to help them make faster, more accurate and more reproducible offside decisions on the biggest stage of all. Next, we travel to South Sudan, where FIFA in February 2022 in cooperation with the South Sudan FA launched a pilot project: Menstrual Hygiene and Education for Girls and Women Playing Football. In South Sudan, 70 of girls and women do not have access to hygiene products such as sanitary pads or tampons. Lack of access and means to obtain sanitary products creates challenges for the girls in the country to regularly attend school and practice sports. Arijana Demirovic, FIFA, 3
