FIFA are confident semi-automated technology to assist with quicker Video Assistant Referee decisions could be ready for the World Cup in Qatar later this year, world football's governing body President Gianni Infantino said Monday.
Trials on the AI technology will continue in the coming months but Infantino said there was significant progress.
"We tested it at the Club World Cup and it looks very good. We are very satisfied and we will take decision before the tournament," Infantino told a news conference in Doha after the meeting of the International Football Association Board, which regulates the sport's rules.
