FIFA has several innovations in mind for the new Club World Cup, which will begin next week in this unprecedented format featuring 32 teams. In fact, there will be some new rules that will change the referees’ style and their interactions with VAR and the players. Four of these, in particular, are quite interesting.
The first is that referees will wear a body-cam, that is, a camera incorporated into their uniforms to record everything that happens nearby and everything that is said to them—a deterrent that could help reduce protests.
Assistant referees, or linesmen, will instead receive a signal in their earpiece from the semi-automatic offside system to assist them in making clear offside calls, before potentially consulting with the VAR room regarding more doubtful decisions.
VAR will also introduce a new feature that will involve fans even more: during a review by the referee at the monitor, the images in question will also be shown on the stadium’s big screens, and the referee will then comment on his decision using a microphone that everyone can hear.
Finally, there is a rule that will slightly change the game, relating to the ball possession by the goalkeeper. The team’s goalkeepers will have 8 seconds to get rid of the ball once they take it in their hands: the last 5 seconds will be counted by the referee with raised hands, visible to everyone. If the goalkeeper fails to release the ball in time, a corner kick will be awarded to the opposing team.
