Premier League Revamps VAR with AI, 28 iPhones for 2024-25 Season
Aug 14, 2024, 02:00 PM
The Premier League is set to implement significant changes to its Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system for the 2024-25 season. The league will introduce AI-powered technology, provided by Genius Sports, to enhance the speed and accuracy of offside decisions. This semi-automated system will utilize a network of 28 iPhones to track players' movements at 200 frames per second, aiming to deliver faster verdicts and reduce game interruptions. Additionally, the Premier League will post near-live explanations of VAR decisions on social media platforms like Twitter to improve transparency. These changes are part of a broader effort to address criticisms of VAR and improve the overall flow of the game.
