Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says offside calls could be automated at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar amid the ongoing criticism of VAR.
Wenger says there could be two forms of technology used. One would be fully automated - sending a signal straight to the linesman's watch to indicate if the player is offside or not. While the second option would be a semi-automated function which will go through VAR first.
The Frenchman – who holds a position at FIFA as the chief of global football development – says he is 'pushing very hard' to introduce the latest form of technology into the game.
