"Fifa is testing new technology which can determine if the ball went out of play before a goal was scored. The 'Out of Bounds' innovation is one of a series which were tested in three Intercontinental Cup matches in Qatar this month. Fifa has also expanded 'Real-time 3D Recreation' to make line-of-sight judgements for offsides quicker and clearer. There are two virtual feeds, available to the video assistant referee (VAR) and TV viewers, which replicate the perspectives of both goalkeepers."
"The Premier League has produced many controversial incidents in recent seasons which this technology could have helped resolve. Two seasons ago Arsenal were furious when VAR ruled Joe Willock had kept the ball in play before Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the game for Newcastle. The VAR did not have the necessary camera angle to prove the ball was out. There have been several 'line of sight' offside incidents this season."
Fifa is testing 'Out of Bounds' technology that determines whether the ball went out of play before a goal. The innovation was trialled in three Intercontinental Cup matches in Qatar and uses the same tracking data and configurations as advanced semi-automated offside. Fifa and Hawk-Eye Innovations developed virtual goalkeeper-perspective feeds for VAR and TV viewers to replicate line-of-sight judgements. Offline testing showed reliability in Qatar and the technology remains under evaluation for domestic leagues. Fifa also trialled immediate offside audio alerts to reduce delayed flags. The systems aim to resolve controversial incidents caused by missing camera angles.
