Limb-tracking technology relies on a dedicated camera system &#8211; installed under the roof of the stadium &#8211; that captures the movement of all the players and the ball. The different systems on the market provide up to 29 data points per player, which make up the players&rsquo; animated skeleton.<\/p>\n<p>In line with the goal of harnessing technology to meet the needs of modern football, as laid out in The Vision 2020-2023, FIFA is investigating the full potential of these new data sets and how they can positively impact the game.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full story on <a href=\"https:\/\/extranets.fifa.com\/Public\/MailClickTrackingHandler.ashx?id=2067650_Merged&amp;name=mOCBhvApfTR9QN%2fhtf6XjQ%3d%3d&amp;target=f%2baONvpNyUd6Q4r8MEyh6fjVOZRnO0q5TaPvobTB%2bciS7u0d6WXrvul5POH3gLZk75EbPZXd2V1Y%2bGtENYl6PRRz%2bN7YE9XolyA4iYe5yxT%2b%2fc%2b8L82N6uGI%2f9pl4HV433w3f3THKbPIMbyJrPNSfpkNi5jEy7JP\"><strong>FIFA.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of FIFA.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Contact for African media: <a href=\"mailto:AfricanMedia@fifa.org\">AfricanMedia@fifa.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"well well-sm\"><b>Media files<\/b><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-newsroom.com\/files\/large\/38116cbeb47815e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africa-newsroom.com\/files\/large\/38116cbeb47815e\" alt=\"FIFA\" style=\"max-width:500px\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-newsroom.com\/files\/download\/38116cbeb47815e\">Download logo<\/a><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-newsroom.com\/\">Source: Africa Newsroom &#8211; APO<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIFA (www.FIFA.com) tests limb-tracking technology at FIFA Arab Cup 2021&trade;; Technology delivers new data source for innovative applications; Potential to provide new insights for coaches, medical staff, and fans Tests run by FIFA at the FIFA Arab Cup 2021&trade; at the end of 2021 indicate that limb-tracking data could provide ground-breaking insights and new applications [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215195,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4584],"tags":[4585],"class_list":{"0":"post-215194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-africa-news-2","8":"tag-apo","9":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/limb-tracking-technology-offers-new-array-of-possibilities.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
