Germany World Cup is in full swing and goalkeepers of 32 football teams are also satisfying. When it comes to choosing the “best goalkeeper”, it will be, probably beyond your expectation, the RFID entrance ticket(in Chinese, ticket and goalkeeper has the same pronunciation—‘’men”)—all the 3.2 million entrance tickets of the World Cup in Germany applied RFID technology, so that the entrance guard can identify each ticket and trace back to identity of legal holder, and only legal ticket holder can enter the stadium of the World Cup. And the “chip” paper entrance tickets guarantee the safety and promptness of football fans in the entrance passage. And this is only a small part of RFID application.
