Image is a representation or likeness of a person, animal, or thing. The television image creates the electronic image language by presenting both motion and sound together. Electronic image language, which gains momentum with electronic imaging techniques, is realized by means of all kinds of colors, sizes and iconic expressions. The fact that the developments in the technical field helped to convey various images, just as in the cinema, also helped in the creation of the electronic image language. Although the language to be created is a technological and technical thing, the product created creates an aesthetic expression.

Abstract
Today, dozens of cameras are placed at various points on the football field, making sure that no detail is overlooked. The positions are reviewed using the video assistant system (VAR). However, despite the existence of live broadcast cameras and their technology-integrated structure, there is a position to be discussed after the match; the truth is reinterpreted. As Umberto Eco emphasizes, live-action, where television time and real-time are closest to each other, is not a mere repetition of an event, but an interpretation. In the chapter, the poetics of truth in football is discussed in the historical and technological process.
