List 3 Positive Effects of Technology in Soccer
Correct decisions made by referees
- Technology is a positive thing for soccer because we are able to be more precise with the decisions made by the referees. This will result in a cleaner game that will be more enjoyable to play because that means there are less negative effects of people getting angry and making the game a banter contest not a football game. For example in the EPL goal line technology is already being used has made decisions that would not been necessarily seen by the referee which has resulted in a positive result rather than a negative.

It improves the performance of players
- Technology is yet again a positive concept because we are able to have a more enjoyable and professional game even if we aren't elite footballers. Technologies such as new and improved soccer balls and soccer boots have boosted the game in it's interest at a personal level as people want to be having the new technologies to improve their game. Ligher boots, better soccer balls, light weight jerseys and artificial turfs all contribute to a better game and performance by individuals. Technology is constantly improving soccer so that players are able to break records and improve their statistics and ability so that they can be the best player they can be which is what sport is about. Technology definitely improves the performance of players.
Fans are able to watch and participate
- Finally, technology has been a positive effect on soccer because fans are able to participate from home without having to fork out a lot of money to go to the stadium. For example in the World Cup I have been watching most of the games live on SBS which is a massive transition from 40 years ago where watching the games live or on demand was a luxury or not even possible. It means that I can follow my team wherever I am. This technology is a definite positive because it improves the sport by the fan base and gives more interest in the sport so that people all over the world can share the soccer.
