As is the case in the playoffs for positions 1-4, so will the Greek Cup finalwith the EPO announcing how the battle between OFI and Olympic will be carried out with Semi -automatic offside and Goal Line Technology.
A decision that enhances the transparency and credibility of the institution, ensuring that the critical phases of the match are judged on the basis of technological support, limiting the margins of human error.
In detail the announcement of the EPO:
“Football and arbitration are going through a new era, that of modern technologies that will contribute significantly to its credibility. By securing their participation in the final of the Greek Betsson Cup at OAKA on May 17, OFI and Olympiacos will become the first teams to claim the trophy in a match to be held using the semi -offside and Goal Line Technology.
The Semi-Automated Offside Technology (Saot, semi-automatic offside) uses 10 detection cameras, so that the offensive offenses have the maximum accuracy, as the position of each player is analyzed by an electronic imaging of each player from 29 points in his body.
In this way the depiction is now three -dimensional, instead of the two -dimensional depiction that existed so far with the placement of offside lines, which is therefore offered the maximum accuracy, which will have a direct impact on the direction of making the right decisions by the referees and assistants. For the use and operation of the semi -automatic offside, there will be another Avar referee (Assistant VAR) in charge of this operation and will of course be in constant communication with the referee of the match.
At the same time, through the other major technology, Goal Line Technology (Goal Technology), the referees will be automatically informed of whether the ball crossed the line or not. To achieve this, the position of the ball will be detected by cameras that will be located in each of the two outbreaks. It is worth noting that in addition to the usual cameras provided by the Broadcaster, two Goal Line Technology cameras will be used.
In cases where they will be clear about whether or not the ball has crossed the line, the referee will be automatically notified by the special clock being provided to him (light), while in cases where he will not be clear and will need to consider the Field Review himself, the VAR will be able to use the 10 cameras used by the On television a clearer picture.
The systems are provided by Hawk-Eye Innovations and will be integrated into those of Mediapro, which is responsible for the operation of VAR in Greece.
The two technologies to be used on May 17 for the first time in a Greek Cup match debuted in Greek football in Superleague 1 2024-25 play-offs and their use is expected to help significantly in the reliability of the sport, which has now entered the “football” era.
