In order to help officials be more accurate in handball decisions during Euro 2024, the official ball manufacturers Adidas have installed a microchip inside the ball that helps to determine whether there has been a handball in the lead-up to a goal, a report from The Times, London stated.“The tech will be providing unprecedented insight into every element of the movement of the ball and contributing to UEFA’s video assistant refereeing (VAR) decision-making process,” UEFA said in a statement.
How does it work?
The microchip installed in the ‘Fussballliebe’, the official match ball of the Euros, will work together with limb-tracking technology that enables the real-time creation of 3D visual representations of players’ skeletons, as per The Times.
