Referees To Wear Body Cameras At Club World Cup

Referees at this year’s Club World Cup will be equipped with body cameras and instructed to implement new rules to cut down on time-wasting by goalkeepers, FIFA announced this on Tuesday.

The use of the cameras will be on a trial basis after they were approved last month by IFAB, the sport’s lawmakers. The 32-team competition in the United States will also attempt to crack down on time-wasting by goalkeepers, awarding a corner to the opposing team if they hold on to the ball beyond eight seconds. The current rule states that ‘keepers are supposed to be sanctioned with an indirect free-kick if they hold on for more than six seconds. However, the offence is rarely penalised.

The Club World Cup begins on June 14 and runs until July 13.
