Technical accessories in football

Football has changed a lot since the ball was first kicked. Nowadays, the game has become very strategic and the players are very much ready for the matches that are to take place. The goal is to win the title. To that end, however, the law had to be amended after some events in history that were unfair to opponents. Who doesn't remember Maradona's hand? Punch given to current Spain coach Luis Enrique?

Now, technology has been introduced in today's world of football to avoid all these kinds of problems. Below, we are going to talk about technology in today's football.


VAR

Video Assistant Referee is one of the latest additions that has been made. Over the years, it has become possible to look at ghost targets, which have benefited some and harmed others, or punishments that have not been whistled to believe that it was all performance. Now, this technical assistant is used as a referee's assistant in dramas that can be difficult to watch from the pitch. From the VAR room, referees help make the game as neutral and clean as possible.

With this technology, big teams have to overcome difficulties to win. For example, bookmakers always play with the difficulties of teams, a fact that consumers themselves take into account. If you find a team that usually has a low probability, but has benefited from VAR in recent matches, it's best to be prepared for surprises, and place solid bets in your hands.


Fan ID

It became popular at the World Cup in Russia. It is used as an identifier for football fans who just want to go to another country to watch the match. This identifier has a chip that collects all user data. In addition, the chip may include various services such as exclusive access to the stadium, free transportation, and more.


Smart shoes

We are accustomed to seeing athletes wearing shoes from well-known brands that represent them. Now these brands want to go further by making them a little more technical, because in their catalog you can see special editions of some models that are perfectly compatible with a player's feet.


Intelligence ball

This technical football gadget was launched in 2018. It was designed to enable players to have more control and information in passes as well as perform special exercises. For this purpose, there is a chip inside the ball that allows it to be attached to a tablet or smartphone.


Other technical accessories in the world of football

In addition to the accessories mentioned above, there are other accessories such as wristbands or smart watches that have been created by leading technology manufacturers. With the technology introduced, it is possible to record every movement and activity of football players.


Round control

More than once you have seen the ball fly out of the goal and it is not known if it has crossed the goal line, a possible goal is called a phantom goal. Now, football has added its Hawk Eye, which is often seen in tennis. Goal control is a camera placed in front of the goal line that helps the referee if the ball has gone completely to the goal line.


GPS vest

You can see in every match when a player is about to enter the field how he wears a vest that covers his chest. The vest is an accessory that weighs no more than 66 grams and is equipped with GPS to track the performance of each athlete. With this device it is possible to check where the player has moved on the pitch, how many kilometers he has covered and how many passes he has made when it was announced. Teams like FC Barcelona use it on a daily basis.


Result

In the 21st century, the world of technology has taken a big leap in the world of football. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the technology trends around it. To move forward, there must be some data, and football teams want to keep up with growth and innovation.
