The IFAB approves extension of trial with referee body cameras at professional level

Following successful tests of body cameras worn by referees at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ for broadcast use, The IFAB’s Board of Directors have now approved the extension of the trial to both domestic and international competitions worldwide.
The trial was approved at The IFAB’s Annual General Meeting in March, initially limited to FIFA tournaments. Now, other competitions have the option to test such systems and provide valuable information and feedback.
Competitions wishing to participate in the trial must seek permission from The IFAB and FIFA, who will support participants by providing detailed recommendations and technical specifications to ensure smooth implementation.
