CBF to trial semi-automated offside in Palmeiras v Flamengo U-17 | OneFootball

The first official match at Nubank Parque will also serve as the stage for an important test. The match between Palmeiras and Flamengo, this Tuesday (14), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), in the eighth round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, will be used by the CBF to test the semi-automated offside system at the stadium.

The mechanism will be used only internally by the entity, with no interference whatsoever in the refereeing of the match. The initiative is part of the CBF’s preparation for future uses of the technology at the arena, which will host its first professional team match on July 26 against Atlético-MG in the Brazilian Championship.

Leading the competition with 18 points, Palmeiras has six wins and just one loss in seven matches, as well as 25 goals scored and 12 conceded. The team’s top scorers in the tournament are Ícaro, João França, Juan Ramos and Thauan, all with four goals.

The green-and-white side is aiming for its third Brazilian Under-17 Championship title. Verdão won the competition in 2022 by beating Grêmio 2-1 in the final, and lifted the trophy again in 2023 after defeating São Paulo 3-0 in the title match.

In addition to the Brazilian Championship, Palmeiras are also competing in the Paulista Under-17 Championship. After crushing Flamengo-SP 8-0, their next state match will be on Saturday (18), at 11 a.m., against União Mogi at Estádio Francisco Ribeiro Nogueira in Mogi das Cruzes.
