Referees will wear bodycams at this summer’s Club World Cup.

Footage will be made available to broadcasters during matches at the 32-team competition in the United States.

Pierluigi Collina, chairman of the Fifa referees committee, said: “It is a good chance to offer the viewers a new experience, in terms of images taken from a perspective, from an angle of vision which was never offered before.”

Jarred Gillett became the first referee to wear a bodycam during a Premier League game in Crystal Palace’s 4-0 win over Manchester United in May 2024.

It was permitted as a “one-off” to capture footage for a programme promoting match officials.

Chelsea and Manchester City are the Premier League teams at the Club World Cup, which runs from 15 June to 13 July.
