"There was a joint decision by our clubs regarding the chip ball technology and goal-line technology used in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Meetings were held with companies. We shared the costs with our clubs. Our clubs also want this technology to be used."
HOW DOES THE CHIP BALL WORK?
In chip ball technology, high-precision sensors placed at the ball's center detect the ball's movement and the moment the footballer touches the ball within milliseconds.
This system, working integrated with the Semi-Automated Offside System (SAOS), sends the obtained data instantly to the VAR center to support referee decisions.
