On Monday (16), another stadium received the equipment for the implementation of the semi-automatic offside system (SAOT) in Brazilian football. The installation took place at Neo Química Arena, home of Corinthians. Now, the technology will go through new processes until completion and will be released for testing in the coming days.

“It is very important and significant to have Neo Química Arena equipped with this technology. We are making progress, but gradually and respecting the entire process, without skipping any steps. After installation, we will calibrate the images and then work on offside tests. In the coming weeks, more stadiums will receive camera installations, as we already have all the necessary equipment available for this work,” said Netto Góes, president of the CBF Arbitration Working Group (GT).

Later this week, two more stadiums will receive cameras for the implementation of the semi-automatic offside system. On Wednesday, the 18th, Couto Pereira, home of Coritiba, and on the 19th, Arena da Baixada, home of Athletico-PR. Arena do Grêmio, Arena MRV, and Mineirão will be the next venues to receive the equipment. Netto Góes celebrated the progress of the installations.

“The necessary equipment is already in Brazil, so the installation process will be faster. The fiber and cable connections have also already been made in most stadiums, and this helps at every stage,” he concluded.
