FA Cup to introduce new technology for first time in English football – with Premier League to follow suit 'later this season'

English football is set to finally introduce semi-automated offsides, with the technology to be used for the first time in the FA Cup fifth round.

The technology, which was used in the 2022 World Cup and is regularly part of the Champions League, is said to enhance the speed and efficiency of the offside process.

Its introduction in England has continually been delayed, but it is now set to be trialled in the next stage of the FA Cup, before being utilised in the Premier League later this season.
