CBF to tweak semi-automated offside images to show pass moment | OneFootball

The CBF will make an adjustment to the display of semi-automated offside images after the reaction to the first round of the Brazilian Championship with the new technology. The organization has decided to also show the exact moment of the pass in the reviews shown during broadcasts.The change has already been approved internally by the CBF and the refereeing department, which believe that including the image can increase transparency and make it easier for fans and clubs to understand the decisions. There is still no set deadline for implementation, as the change depends on technical adjustments.The debate gained momentum after goals by Flamengo, against São Paulo, and Bahia, against Corinthians, were disallowed. In both cases, the offsides were called by minimal margins, involving only part of the attackers’ feet.Currently, the image provided for broadcasts shows only the frame used to draw the offside line, focusing on the attacker and the defender. This is the standard adopted by Genius Sports, the company responsible for the technology, and it is also used in England’s Premier League.According to the CBF, the model prioritizes the quick release of the images, which are made available in less than a minute. Meanwhile, in the VAR booth, referees have access to all stages of the analysis, including the moment of contact with the ball and the other details of the play. With the adjustment, the expectation is that some of this information will also start being shown to the public.
