Starting April 12, the Premier League will introduce semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) to enhance the efficiency of officiating during live matches. With a network of 30 cameras in each stadium, the technology will track player positions and the ball, streamlining the process of determining offside calls from a lengthy manual process to an average of 30 seconds. While VAR remains in place for oversight, SAOT automates the suggestion of kick-points and offside lines for real-time decisions, improving both viewing experience and game flow.
