FIFA: Controversial incidents will not be shown on “Ref Cam”

Referees at this month's FIFA Club World Cup will wear 'body cams' with the footage used in broadcasts of the game - but only if the images are of non-controversial incidents, FIFA refereeing officials said on Wednesday. The match referees in the tournament will wear a small camera protruding from their earpiece which will be able to generate video from the referee’s point of view. But while broadcasters will be able to offer unique angles on goals and saves - as well as close-up live video and sound from the pre-match coin toss - viewers won't get to see penalty decisions or other disputable moments from the new camera angle.

"The objective is to offer the TV viewers a new experience," said Pierluigi Collina, the Chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee. Collina said that IFAB, which sets the Laws of the Game, had allowed a trial of the technology and suggested that footage of controversies might be part of a later phase in the future. "Let's do things step by step. At the moment... this is a trial. We need to do something new and the simpler the better. So we fixed some rules within a protocol. We will offer these images in the future? Maybe when we learn to run, maybe not, maybe we will do," he said. The live images will be broadcast via a private 5G network from the ref to the match production team, said FIFA Director of Innovation, Johannes Holzmuller, who said the live aspect would only be available in the six NFL stadiums being used for the tournament. What Club World Cup fans will be able to see are the VAR reviews, as seen by referees on the pitchside monitor, which will be broadcast on giant screens in the stadium. That video will then be followed by the referee announcing the final decision over the public address system and the television broadcast.

The tournament will also see the use of 'enhanced semi-automatic offside' technology which will use 16 cameras linked to AI technology and algorithms which will send an audio message to the assistant referee when an offside player touches the ball. The system will likely see the flag raised earlier for offside and reduce cases of play continuing after a clear offside until a later VAR review. The tournament will also be an early introduction of the new law that goalkeepers have eight seconds to release the ball after picking it up - or be punished with a corner. It replaces the previous law that keepers had six seconds to release the ball or give up an indirect free kick. The goalkeepers will be shown a five second warning by the referee who will count down showing the fingers of one hand.

Landmark innovations at FIFA Club World Cup 2025

The FIFA Club World Cup will see a range of innovations introduced that will make the tournament even more entertaining and engaging for fans, while streamlining operations and boosting transparency.

Body cameras

Following The International Football Association Board’s approval, referees will wear body cameras at the competition, and the footage will be used by FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Exclusive Global Broadcaster DAZN as part of live match broadcasts during the tournament. One of the main goals of this test is to explore whether the new camera angle can improve the experience for those watching on television and online by showcasing the referee’s perspective. Furthermore, FIFA will use the findings from the tournament to create guidelines for the use of such cameras in football.

Footage from referee reviews live at stadiums

Besides broadcast developments, fans following the action at the stadiums will now also benefit from seeing exactly what the referee views on the monitor in the referee review area during on-field reviews. The footage will be displayed live on the giant screens, which will make it easier for fans to understand the decision-making process and enhance transparency.

Advanced semi-automated offside technology

Following successful trials at the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2024 and a number of FIFA’s youth tournaments, an advanced version of semi-automated offside technology will be in place at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, with the aim of making the decision-making process for offside situations as fast as possible. Utilising multiple cameras, a sensor inside the ball and artificial intelligence, the system tracks players’ positions and the ball, providing automated, real-time alerts to match officials in the event of clear offsides. However, for challenging offside scenarios, the video assistant referee will still validate the information provided by the system before the decision is taken.

Artificial intelligence-driven data

For the first time at a major tournament, FIFA will use algorithms developed by Football Technology Centre AG, its joint venture with Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd, to automatically collect the majority of live event data based on the available tracking data.

Substitutions

Another new feature will be the introduction of a substitution tablet, which will replace traditional paperwork and manual communication to streamline and organise the substitution process. Each team will receive a tablet before kick-off to manage requests digitally, ensuring that everyone who needs this information is aligned and providing a clear overview of remaining substitutions.

Somali referee made his mark at African Champions League

Omar Artan’s handling of the second leg match of African Champions League final has been hailed in his home country, Somalia, where he received a hero’s welcome. Artan became the first Somali football referee to officiate a continental final when he took charge of the match played last week in Egypt’s capital, Cairo. Egypt’s Pyramids FC triumphed in the Champions League with a 3-2 aggregate win over two legs against Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa.

Artan received praise from football analysts and fans for his composed and fair performance during the match that was free of heated moments. “I carried the pride of millions of Somalis, the weight of our national flag, and the hopes of young people who looked up to me. That sense of duty has always driven me to give my best,” Artan said. “I dedicate this achievement to the Somali people around the world for their unwavering support, belief, and encouragement.” He made his debut on the continental stage at last year’s African Cup of Nation tournament in in Côte d’Ivoire where he officiated a group stage match.

Somalia Football Federation (SFF) hosted a reception for him on Wednesday in the capital, Mogadishu where football officials said his “rise mirrors the rise of Somali football”.

“He is incorruptible and deeply committed to protecting the dignity and fairness of the sport,” said SFF president Ali Mohamed. The Somali referee begun his career officiating in domestic leagues where he built a name for himself by “learning from his mistakes made on the pitch”.

“Those early matches gave me the foundation I needed and the chance to grow in my performance,” he said. “What has inspired me most in this journey is the opportunity to carry forward a reputation built on fairness, neutrality, and responsibility.” Young people across Somalia have been inspired into becoming referees by Artan’s career, said the head of football referees Hasan Yabarow. “The standards of refereeing in the country are rising because young Somali boys and girls now have someone they can look up tom” he said. "We now hope and dream that he will be given the opportunity to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” said Ali Ahmed, the head of refereeing of a regional football body.

FIFA referee Nyberg is accused of interfering in a Division 6 game

According to Sportbladet's sources, the star referee made his way down from the stands and made sure a player was sent off. Afterwards, Nyberg apologized.

13 minutes had passed in Sunday's match in Division 6 Dalarna North. The score was 0-0 on Stora Ensoplan in Borlänge when a player from visiting team Amsberg committed a foul against the home team Kvarnsveden’s goalkeeper. The referee issued a yellow card. But while the goalkeeper was being cared for, a person stepped up to the assistant referee. It was Glenn Nyberg, several times voted as the country's best referee, who this year became the refereeing officer for Kvarnsveden. After a brief discussion with Nyberg, the assistant referee called for the referee, who changed his decision from yellow card to red card. With only 10 players on the pitch, Amsberg fell apart and lost 4-0.

Sportbladet has spoken to two spectators who confirmed that Nyberg, who allegedly was dressed in a Kvarnsveden shirt, clearly influenced the referee trio. “He wanted a red card. Then there was a red card”, one of them said. “Of course, wanted it.” Amsberg has turned to Dalarna Football Association in connection with the actions of Glenn Nyberg. “What Glenn did affect the match”, one leader said. “Are you saying that there is a difference between whether an unknown private person is talking to the referee and if Glenn Nyberg does? Of course. If a Champions League referee tells an assistant referee in Division 6 that it should be a red card, then it's clear he wanted it. Everyone gets it.” “We want an apology, a confession that he was wrong. Then we may be able to demand replay, because we feel deprived of an honest match”. Sportbladet has contacted Dalarnas Fotbollförbund and Glenn Nyberg with no results. But, according to Amsbergs SK, Nyberg has contacted the association on Monday and apologized for the entire situation.

IFAB Clarification on double touches

The IFAB wishes to clarify Law 10 – Determining the Outcome of a Match and Law 14 – The Penalty Kick regarding the situation when the penalty taker accidentally kicks the ball with both feet simultaneously or when the ball touches the penalty taker’s non-kicking foot or leg immediately after they have taken the kick. This situation is rare, and as it is not directly covered in Law 14, referees have understandably tended to penalise the kicker for having touched the ball again before it has touched another player, thus awarding an indirect free kick to the opposition or, in the case of penalties (penalty shoot-out), recording the kick as missed. However, this part of Law 14 is primarily intended for situations where the penalty taker deliberately touches the ball a second time before it has touched another player (e.g. when it rebounds from the goalpost(s) or crossbar without touching the goalkeeper). This is very different from the penalty taker accidentally kicking the ball with both feet simultaneously or touching the ball with their non-kicking foot or leg immediately after they have taken the kick, which usually occurs because they have slipped when taking it. Not penalising an accidental double touch would nevertheless be unfair, as the goalkeeper can be disadvantaged by the altered trajectory of the ball. 

The IFAB would like to clarify the procedures in the following situations:

· The penalty taker accidentally kicks the ball with both feet simultaneously or the ball touches their non-kicking foot or leg immediately after the kick:

- If the kick is successful, it is retaken

- If the kick is unsuccessful, an indirect free kick is awarded (unless the referee plays advantage when it clearly benefits the defending team) or, in the case of penalties (penalty shoot-out), the kick is recorded as missed

· The penalty taker deliberately kicks the ball with both feet simultaneously or deliberately touches it a second time before it has touched another player:

- An indirect free kick is awarded (unless the referee plays advantage when it clearly benefits the defending team) or, in the case of penalties (penalty shoot-out), the kick is recorded as missed.

These clarified procedures are effective for competitions starting on or after 1 July 2025 and may be used by competitions starting before that date.
