Ahead of the 2025 FIFA World Club Cup in the United States, the Chairman of the FIFA referees committee, Pierluigi Collina, has confirmed that referees will wear body cameras at the competition.
The competition, which is set to be held from June 14 to July 13, 2025, would feature the use of body cameras for the first time in the history of the competition.
Collina revealed that the introduction of the body camera will enhance the fans’ experience and help the referees to make better decisions.

He said, “We think that 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.
“It also has a purpose in terms of referee coaching. Because, of course, having the possibility to see what the referee sees is important in the debriefing to evaluate how the call was made by the referee, which was his view, and so on.
“So it’s a combination of new experience for broadcasters and also for coaching purposes.”
