The FIFA Club World Cup, starting in the United States, will feature several technological advancements.
Referees will wear body cameras to provide a new perspective for viewers. The FIFA will use the tournament's conclusions to create guidelines for using these cameras in football.
Fans will see the same replays as the VAR officials on stadium screens. An advanced semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) will be used to speed up decision-making.
This system uses multiple cameras, a sensor in the ball, and AI to track player and ball positions, sending real-time alerts to referees. Substitution tablets will be introduced, allowing teams to manage player changes digitally.
