Summarizing FIFA technology trials

I see that the Chinese user is asking about FIFA's testing for new ball out-of-play technology, which has been trialed in various tournaments like the Confederations Cup. It seems there are multiple events including the 2013 and 2017 iterations, and even the 2021 and 2022 competitions where different technologies like the "kick point" detection and semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) have been used. I want to provide relevant details and clarify timelines for the user.Clarifying FIFA's technology testing

It looks like the BBC article discusses FIFA's testing of "out of play" technology that determines if the ball has crossed the touchline or goal line using 3D positioning. However, I need to clarify that the Confederations Cup has been discontinued since 2019, so they might be referring to the new Intercontinental Cup in 2024. This tournament is set to replace the Club World Cup and will be held in Jeddah. The user’s reference to "洲际杯" could indeed relate to either cup.Exploring FIFA's technology trials

The BBC likely reports on FIFA's trials of out-of-play technology expected to be tested at the Intercontinental Cup in December 2024. There have been controversies over ball-in/out decisions, such as the Newcastle vs. PSG match and the Japan-Spain game in 2022. The user may be asking for more context, so I want to clarify: do they need a summary, key points, or impact?

This technology involves sensors in the ball and camera systems to notify officials in real-time. It still requires approval from IFAB and could relate to VAR and Goal Line Technology.Drafting summary and options

I see I need to provide a summary of FIFA's trial of "out-of-play" technology that aims to automatically determine if a ball fully crosses the boundary lines. The technology uses built-in IMU sensors in the ball, multiple cameras, and geometry to calculate the ball’s 3D position. It assists referees similar to Goal Line Technology but also covers touchlines.

I should also mention potential issues like equipment calibration and costs. I can ask if the user wants an overview, technical details, or insights on the impact of rules or controversies.
