Hawk-Eye have confirmed to FIFA that their new technology capable of automatically detecting offsides is ready to be used at the 2022 World Cup.
It had been reported over the last year that such groundbreaking technology should be available in time for the tournament in Qatar.
The Times report that FIFA will show results and findings in a meeting with the International FA Board’s (IFAB) technical and football panels on Wednesday.
The new system works by sending an automatic message to the VAR, who will then be able to judge whether the offside player is interfering with play.
Cameras and computers track players and the ball, while artificial intelligence will be able to determine whether a player is offside at any moment the ball has been kicked.
