YOGYAKARTA - In many ways, the upcoming World Cup in Qatar could be revolutionary... Because there is advanced technology in the 2022 world cup...
World Cup with a lot of first experiences? That could be the right way to describe the upcoming 2022 World Cup, which will start in Qatar on November 21.
Qatar 2022 will be the first time an Arab country has hosted the World Cup. This will also be the first time the World Cup will be held in the middle of a European football season. Not to mention the fact that the eight places in the World Cup lie within an hour from each other, making it the first compact World Cup in its kind.
However, the World Cup in Qatar promises even more, especially in terms of technological innovation.
Given the many innovative changes promised by the 2022 World Cup, the fan experience itself can see revolutionary changes. Let's see technological innovations that will amaze fans, players, and others during the 2022 World Cup.

The stadium is completely demolishable!
One of the 2022 World Cup venues - Stadium 974 - may not only exist after the World Cup!
Yes, Stadium 974 is a completely disassembled place. The stadium was built using shipping containers and modular steel frames. The stadium design makes it attractive visually while ensuring cost effectiveness, given the fewer materials used compared to traditional stadiums.
However, this is the first stadium to be fully demolished in World Cup history.
Stadium 974 will host seven World Cup matches, until the round of 16.
Sophisticated Stadium Cooling Technology
Seven of the eight stadiums for the 2022 World Cup feature advanced Cooling Technology - a revolutionary technology that will keep the atmosphere inside the stadium cool. Yes, the atmosphere inside the stadium will be at optimal temperature both for players and fans. The only stadium that doesn't have Advanced Cooling Tech is a natural ventilation (Stadium 974), thanks to its location near the coast and doesn't require cooling.
There will be an energy center near the stadium, where the cold water is channeled through the pipe to the place. Upon arrival, the cold air was pushed to the field of play and the area where the audience sat.
This is the first time such technology will be experienced by fans and players during the World Cup.
The revolutionary World Cupball
Al Rihla, the official match ball for the 2022 World Cup, is an innovative product.
The ball features connected ball technology that will deliver real-time data to VAR officials. This technology will collaborate with the new FIFA Semi-automatic Offside Technology. The ball will have a new Adidas Suspension System in the middle of the ball with a motion sensor.
This is the first time a World Cup game has featured this technology.
Semi-automatic Offside Technology
There will also be a technological revolution on the pitch during the 2022 World Cup. FIFA has announced that semi-automatic offside technology will be used during the World Cup in Qatar.
It will be a supporting tool for referees that will help them make accurate, fast, and reproducible offside decisions during tournaments.
This new technology will have 12 tracking cameras around the stadium in addition to sensors inside the new Al Rihla ball. This technology will automatically provide an offside warning to Video Assistant Referee whenever the ball is played against players in offside positions. No need for a protracted VAR display to determine whether an offside player is offside or not.
Bonicle: Access to the 2022 World Cup for the visually impaired
Even blind football fans will have access to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. A revolutionary product called 'Bonicle' will turn digital content around the World Cup into a braille, allowing blind fans to access content and enjoy the World Cup.
'Challenge 22', a competition initiated by the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) in Qatar, has led a technological revolution in the Middle East. Bonocle is a product of Challenge 22.
"Bonicle will allow blind communities around the world to experience the 2022 World Cup in new ways that have never existed before. This will enhance their ability to move around Doha with less restrictions, and more freedom to navigate and interact," said the founders.
