Changing the offside rules at EURO 2024?
According to The Sun, EURO 2024 may not consult VAR for offside situations. The reason is that Dutch company Ballinno claimed UEFA had copied the idea of detecting offside errors with their technology.
The semi-automatic offside moves used in the game have a microchip integrated inside the ball to provide higher accuracy. The chip is capable of detecting 500 movements per second. Ballinno has filed a lawsuit for granting a copyright infringement against UEFA.
In case Ballinno wins the case, UEFA will not be able to use VAR to determine the offside at EURO 2024.
Turkey chooses preliminary list
Turkey has just announced its preliminary squad for EURO 2024. Under the leadership of Vincenzo Montella, 35 players were called up to prepare. There will be 9 eliminated before the tournament.
Their most outstanding player is Hakan Calhanoglu, who just won the Scudetto with Inter Milan and had one of the best seasons of his career. This midfielder will also wear the captain's armband. In the next few days, Turkey will have 2 friendly matches with Italy and Poland before EURO takes place.
Reasons Gavi's absence from EURO
Gavi is one of the notable stars who will be absent from EURO 2024. He suffered a serious knee injury in November, missing the entire season and until EURO 2024. He did not recover in time to fight with Spain in Germany.
Many people believe that Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente sent Gavi onto the field in an overloaded state, leading to a serious ligament injury for the player. At the age of 19, he has played 27 times for the national team, scoring 5 goals.
