After two years of trials, the Premier League is ready to implement semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) in the FA Cup, following UEFA and FIFA's earlier adoption. This technology seeks to address the long delays and inaccuracies associated with VAR, which have led to skepticism among fans and players alike. With improved visualizations and faster decision-making, SAOT aims to restore confidence in offside calls, especially after instances like the controversial Crystal Palace goal at Selhurst Park. The technology will debut this weekend across several Premier League grounds.
