Premier League statement: New technology set to be introduced for 2024/25 season

Some breaking news from the Premier League this afternoon, as clubs have agreed to implement Semi-Automated Offside Technology from next season.

The new technology - used successfully at the Qatar World Cup and UEFA Champions League - will be used after one of the Autumn international breaks, and “will provide quicker and consistent placement of the virtual offside line."

A Premier League statement said: 'At a Premier League Shareholders’ meeting today, clubs unanimously agreed to the introduction of Semi-Automated Offside Technology.

'The new system will be used for the first time in the Premier League next season, and it is anticipated the technology will be ready to be introduced after one of the autumn international breaks.

'The technology will provide quicker and consistent placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking, and will produce high-quality broadcast graphics to ensure an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for supporters.'

A good move from the Premier League to finally introduce this new technology. It should have been implemented sooner but it's a step in the right direction.
