The FA Cup for semi -appendix in the Premier League stadiums in the fifth round

For the first time in football in English, semi -automated infiltration technology will be presented during the fifth round of the FA Cup.

On Thursday, the Football Association announced that this technology will be published in the seven matches that are held in the Premier League places.

Premier League clubs initially agreed to use technology for the 2024-25 season in April, with plans to enter in October 2024.

However, its implementation was postponed to allow an additional test, which increased pressure on officials this season.

The FA said: “After the successful direct operation in the UAE FA Cup, the Premier League will look forward to the implementation of the system later this season.

“The semi -automated infiltration technology will provide a more efficient position for the virtual infiltration line, based on the tracking of the optical player, and the production of virtual graphics to ensure an improved experience in the stadium and broadcast of supporters.
