FIFA considers body cameras and faster offside tech for 2026 World Cup, pending IFAB approval.

FIFA is evaluating referee body cameras and enhanced semi-automated offside technology for the 2026 World Cup, following successful trials during the 2025 Club World Cup in the U.S. The body cameras, which show real-time referee perspectives, and faster offside alerts aim to improve decision accuracy and transparency. FIFA also plans to extend goalkeeper handling time from eight to ten seconds to reduce delays. Final decisions await approval from the International Football Association Board in February.
