2026 Serie A matches & offside tech rollout

Entities: Bahia Football Club · Brazilian Football Confederation · Alejo Véliz · Corinthians · Santos FC

Overview

Following the World Cup break, the Serie A resumed with Fluminense drawing 1‑1 with Red Bull Bragantino, Bahia beating Chapecoense 2‑0 and Mirassol edging Grêmio 2‑1. The CBF confirmed that the semi‑automatic offside technology (SAOT) would debut in the league’s 20th round on 25 July. That weekend the system was used in the Santos vs Chapecoense match, where it validated Chapecoense’s equalising goal, and in three other fixtures, providing five off‑side checks across four games. Reviews averaged 47 seconds, with a maximum of 64 seconds, and the tool confirmed two goals while annulling three, including the first off‑side cancellation in the Bahia vs Corinthians match.

The AI‑driven setup, supplied by Genius Sports, equips the 20 Serie A venues – including Arena Barueri – with 28‑32 high‑definition cameras that stream 3‑D reconstructions to the CBF’s VAR Operations Centre in Rio. Roughly R$ 25 million has been allocated, and a software tweak is planned to show the exact pass moment on broadcasts, further boosting transparency. CBF president Samir Xaud and arbitration director Netto Góes hailed the rollout as a major step toward greater fairness in Brazilian football.
