The use of semi-automatic offside technology will not be implemented at the debut of the 2026 Brasileirão.Â
The technology had been announced by the CBF president, Samir Xaud, but it will not be ready in time for the 1st round in all stadiums.
The information comes from O Globo.
According to the publication, there is still no forecast for when the technology will be operational, especially since the planning involves test matches before the new system can be approved.
There are several issues to be resolved in the 27 stadiums that will be used in Série A.
The problems range from site visits to the process of importing the equipment.Â
So far, 16 stadiums have been inspected:
- Maracanã
- Neo QuÃmica Arena
- MorumBis
- Mineirão
- Arena MRV
- Arena Fonte Nova
- Arena Barueri
- Barradão
- Nilton Santos
- São Januário
- Arena da Baixada
- Couto Pereira
- CÃcero de Souza Marques
- Â Vila Belmiro
- Â Beira-RioÂ
- Arena do Grêmio
The next targets for the CBF are Arena Condá, Baenão, Maião, and Allianz Parque.
It’s worth noting that Genius, the company contracted by the CBF, provides the same service in the Premier League.
