The technology, also known as SAOT, is set to be introduced into the fifth round of England's premier cup competition with a view to a wider introduction to English football later on.
SAOT was successfully used at the 2022 World Cup and was set to be brought to the Premier League in autumn after clubs unanimously voted to bring it in last April.
THE FA CUP fifth round is set to be the testing ground of semi-automated offside technology.
SAOT and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) have not been used in any of the previous rounds of the competition to ensure a "consistent refereeing approach for all clubs taking part in the same stage of the competition".
This led to several controversial decisions, including Harry Maguire's last-gasp winner for Manchester United against Leicester in the fourth round which would have been ruled offside with the help of technology.
