Körperkameras der Schiedsrichter bei der Klub-Weltmeisterschaft 2025: Eine innovative Maßnahme der FIFA.

In a remarkable and interesting step, FIFA announced a new initiative that will provide fans with an unprecedented viewing experience during the upcoming Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States from June 14 to July 13.

During this edition of the tournament, match officials will be equipped with small cameras attached to their bodies, in a first-of-its-kind experience at this level, aiming to capture moments from the heart of the event and from the referee's perspective.

This idea is being implemented following the approval of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), responsible for setting the rules of the game, considering this step as part of an experimental phase aimed at bringing more transparency and excitement to refereeing decisions.

According to FIFA's Head of Referees Committee, Italian Pierluigi Collina, the initiative will open up new horizons for fans and broadcasting channels, allowing them to see refereeing decisions from the angle the referee sees, enhancing the audience's understanding of complex refereeing situations.

Collina emphasized that these cameras not only serve spectators but also serve as an important educational tool for referees themselves, enabling them to reassess their decisions and improve their performance by watching what they have already seen during the match.

In a related context, FIFA also announced a new rule aimed at reducing time-wasting by goalkeepers, as part of its ongoing efforts to speed up the pace of play and maintain the excitement of the matches.

This step is one of a series of updates that the association is working on implementing to improve the quality of the game and provide a more vibrant and fair football experience for all parties involved.
