The technology was further integrated into soccer balls and already has its first decision as the protagonist: In the match between Belgium and Slovakia in the Euro Cup, the impact sensors helped the central referee to signal hand in a complicated action for the referee.
According to the criteria of
The situation meant that, for the second time in the match, Lukaku saw the VAR intervene to annul a Belgian goal. The match ball was the main protagonist since it was its sensors that detected the ball hitting Openda’s hand in a previous play.
How do you detect the blow?
The ball, named Fusballliebe (Love for the football), It was created by the German brand Adidas and has the purpose of helping, even more, to speed up and reduce the error of referee decisions. Inside this, there is a gyroscope that collects data to allow VAR assistants to know the hits it receives.
These data are used in the event that there is a doubt about signaling an infringement or, as in the case of the Euro Cup match, disallowing a goal. In addition, it is capable of illustrating, in a kind of electrocardiogram, the disturbances at each moment. For this reason, the graphic presented while the central referee was making the decision was the one that helped it be made in the quickest way.
Based on the detection of hits on the surface, the ball also collects data that makes it possible to determine offside violations thanks to synchronization with the multiple cameras placed in the stadium that also track 29 body points of each player to detect overtaking.
