FIFA is likely to introduce body-mounted cameras for referees during the 2026 World Cup, following a recent decision by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to extend the use of the technology in global competitions.

The cameras, which were trialed during the FIFA Club World Cup held earlier this month in the United States, aim to enhance the viewing experience by providing fans with a referee’s-eye perspective on key moments of the game.

With positive feedback from the initial implementation, FIFA is now expected to adopt the technology for its flagship tournament in 2026, potentially revolutionizing how football is broadcast and experienced by millions around the world.
