FIFA will create AI-enabled 3D avatars of all players at the 2026 World Cup to enhance semi-automated offside technology. The initiative, announced at CES in Las Vegas, aims to improve accuracy during fast or obscured movements and provide more engaging visuals for fans. Partnering with Lenovo, FIFA also plans to offer AI tools to all teams to level the playing field.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has approved proposals for expanded powers for video referees. These include reviews of incorrect corner kick decisions and erroneous card assignments, provided the game is not delayed. The changes could apply at the 2026 World Cup and in the Bundesliga from next season.

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has determined that Everton should have been awarded a penalty during their 1-0 loss to Arsenal on December 20, 2025. The incident involved Arsenal defender William Saliba kicking Everton striker Thierno Barry's boot inside the penalty area in the 57th minute. The panel voted 3-2 that referee Sam Barrott's on-field decision was wrong and that VAR official Michael Salisbury should have prompted a review.
