"A chip fixed on a gyroscope inside the ball sends data 500 times per second to record the point at which it is kicked. The 'kick point' helps match officials make offside decisions using multiple camera angles to create 3D visualizations that illustrate player movement.

"UEFA highlighted the sustainable qualities of the 'Fussballliebe,' using recycled polyester and water-based ink, plus materials including corn fibers, sugar cane and wood pulp."

@jrefior fifa then went on to demonstrate that their match officials still can’t get VAR decisions right, and that it really is all about the money. When asked about FFP their official said “the top clubs bring in a shedload of money for us every year, so we don’t like to bother them with trivial rules.” Unimpressed, me ? Never.
