AThe World Cup, which is coming to the world of Rab for the first time, has many innovations this time around. Qatar can claim many first places from the World Cup.
World Cups usually take place during the Northern Hemisphere summer. It will be in June-July. However, Qatar can boast the distinction of being the first World Cup to be held in the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
The World Cup will take place after the regular season of the European football championships. The participation of the stars is taken into account. This time the World Cup will be held after the European Championships have stopped in the middle
Camera to take offside
The WAR (Video Assistant Referee) system will also work by capturing the movement of all 22 players on the pitch from different directions and analyzing it with the help of artificial intelligence. This year’s World Cup will also be the first to use semi-automatic offside technology. 12 cameras mounted on the roof of the stadium will record the movements of the ball and the players 50 times per second. In this way it is possible to analyze when the ball was received by the player and when the ball was hit
The number of substitutes will increase
Usually three substitutes are used in a game. This time, a team can field five substitutes in the World Cup. The change of five replacements, which began during the Covid period, spread later.
This time there is something new in announcing the team for the World Cup. So far each country has announced a team of 23 members. This time it’s a 26-member team.
Another feature is female referees. Three of the 36 World Cup referees are women. Among the 69 assistant referees, there are three women.
