The World Cup 2018 is full of surprises and the innovative technology has helped us to receive these gifts. The combination of human and tech gadgets which work in the background helps us to receive every single update. The level of technology is increased to a great extent and we use this to live telecast of our favorite sports games. We have listed some technologies which are currently used in the FIFA World Cup 2018.

1. Goal-Line Technology:

Figuring out whether it's a goal or a near-miss is an important part of a referees job. Goal-line technology debuted in the 2014 Brazil World Cup and it's still an important part of the technology being used this year in FIFA World Cup 2018 Russia. It has 14 high-speed cameras which capture up to 500 frames per second and sends a signal within one second to the referee’s watch indicating when the ball has crossed the goal line.

2. Electronic Performance and Tracking System (EPTR):

The EPTR is a tablet-based system where each team can share information with its coaches in real time. Player statistics and video recording are available. Each team has three tablets. One is for an analyst in stands, another for an analyst on the bench, and a third for the medical staff. Optical tracking from 2 cameras is used to monitor the players and the ball and provide feedback. It works with a camera-based tracking system and wearable technology.

3. Video Assistant Referee (VAR):

The main concept of developing Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is that it catches errors which weren't caught earlier. The VAR staff supports the referees from a centralized video operation room at the international broadcast center in Moscow. One VAR, three assistants, and four replay operators have access to all 33 camera feeds covering the matches, plus exclusive access to two special offside cameras. Two cameras are turned on the referees themselves so their decision process will be public. The gadget technology is only used in situations where a call may have changed the result of a match. If a "clear and obvious error" has been made, the team communicates with the on-field referee`s and they can stop play at any time to consult with the VAR team.
