As the European Football Championship UEFA approaches relentlessly, a novelty has been introduced.

It is reported that during the sports fiesta, match referees will receive additional assistance.

The company "Adidas" has integrated a microchip into the match ball, which will send signals to the referees if the game tool touches the footballer's hand.

The new technology will enable VAR to create a computer image that will accurately show which part of the body the ball touched precisely.

Furthermore, with the help of the microchip, referees will be able to more accurately determine the offside.

🚨 A microchip inside the ball that helps to determine whether there has been a handball in the lead-up to a goal and aids offside decisions will be used at Euro 2024.
