The latest technology…; here’s why the Qatar World Cup balls are charged as if they were normal smartphones…

Qatar 2022 World Cup balls are charged like a normal smartphone. That it is one of the most revolutionary tours ever, that is clear from all angles. On the ground, outside and around the world, this climate of innovation is perceived, which in some cases may have gone even further.
But no one expected that even the facility used to practice this sport at its best had been profoundly modified. Not so much in appearance, since a ball can only be spherical, but in terms of the structure that makes it up.
The Dailymail revealed how the official Al Rihla balls used in the Qatar World Cup are so high-tech that they not only need to be inflated, but also charged. Made by Adidas, the ball, which takes its name from the Arabic word for “journey,” has an internal sensor that measures data such as speed and direction.
This allows the ball to be monitored for offside position by VAR as well. An incredible photo posted by the online portal of the British media showed how the balls are charged, like an ordinary smartphone, from an electric board before matches.
The sensor weighs only 14 grams and is very useful for sending useful information to the referee for controversial decisions on the pitch, with VAR support. Just think that every time the ball is kicked, headed, thrown or even just touched, the system detects 500 frames per second.
The data is sent in real time from the sensors to a local positioning system, which includes an installation of network antennas located around the playing field, which capture and store the data for immediate use.
Therefore, charging is also necessary, because the consumption during a game is large. When a ball flies out of bounds during play and a new ball is thrown or hit to replace it, the latter system automatically switches to entering data for the new ball without the need for human intervention.
Humanly, some players, like England’s Trippier, have noticed that the ball is too light. “Every time I hit it, I felt the balls were a little different,” said the England right-back. – I would say that the balls in this World Cup are a little easier. It seems that if you exert too much force on them, they fly away.”
