The 2025 female eurocup, which plays between July 2 and 27 in Switzerland, will first include semi -automatic outside of semi -automatic play (SAOT), a technology designed to attend VAR by accurately discovered of advanced positions and has been present in male champions, like the champions league, since 2022.
As the UEFA announced Wednesday in a statement, Switzerland will witness this technology that Milestone “allows VAR teams to determine situations to play quickly and more accurately thanks to ten specialized cameras installed on the stadium and the track of 29 different body points per player.”
The use of this technology, which has already been implemented in men’s competitions such as the 2022 Champions League and Laliga EA Sports 2024-2025, will be something new in European women’s football, with the connected ball technology, used in the 2024 male eurocup and the 2022 World Cup.
The ball, called ‘connected’, incorporates a sensor inside that provides to obtain and send information about the motion and contact with the ball, which can be used by arbitration equipment and the video Carbitraje System (VAR), thanks to the way of integrating the “Player Player Player’s Data with artificial intelligence (AI)”, reported the organism.
For his part, the video Assistant Referee (VAR) appears in the Continental Competition every second consecutive edition, after its primary in England 2022.
“There will be a var, a video assistant referee (AVAR) and three video operators in all group stage matches. From the quarterfinals, the Avars number will increase to two,” the entity said, while adding that the VAR center is based on Nyon.
Therefore, the VAR team will be well responsible for evaluating clear errors and manifestos related to goals, penalty incidents, red card or identity confusion.
Finally, the UEFA announced that the GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY (GLT) was installed in all contest officers: Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zurich, San Galo, Lucena, Zion and Thun.
“The system, which has been used in the UEFA National Club and the National Teams since 2016, shows seven cameras per goal, using control software to monitor the ball within the goal area,” he said.
In this way and through vision and software processing techniques, the GLT “indicates whether a goal is scored in the first second of action, thanks to a vibration and a visual signal on each referee’s watch,” he added.
This is an unmarked advance in the history of the Continental Women Tournament, which marks a new step in incorporating technological tools into arbitration.
