Technology decided the fate of the Croatia-Portugal match, the chip on the ball
World Cup chip ball

The World Cup is marking a new era in football, where technology has taken on an increasingly decisive role. The official "Trionda" ball, manufactured by Adidas, is not only used for the development of the game, but also as an important tool for referees, thanks to the integrated microchip that records every touch of the ball.

The system transmits real-time data to the VAR team, helping referees accurately identify key moments in the game. One of the most controversial cases was recorded in the match between Croatia and Portugal.

In the final minutes of the match, Croatia scored a goal that was initially considered legal. However, after verification by VAR, the goal was disallowed. Data obtained from the ball's microchip showed that a Croatian player had touched the ball moments before the goal, influencing the offside decision.

The touch was so small that it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye by the referees on the field, but the sensors integrated into the ball registered it accurately.

The technology works through a system that creates graphic signals whenever the ball makes contact with a part of a player's body. These signals are synchronized with the film footage, allowing referees to determine the exact moment of contact and make more accurate decisions.

The Croatia-Portugal match is considered one of the most significant examples of the impact that technology has on modern football. Although such decisions continue to provoke debate among fans and analysts, the use of a microchip in the ball aims to minimize human error and ensure that decisions on controversial situations are based on objective data.
