Referees to wear bodycams at Club World Cup with fans offered new viewing angles for tournament in USA

Referees will wear bodycams at this summer's Club World Cup.

The move aims to offer television viewers more angles of the action with footage from the cameras available to broadcasters at the competition, which includes Man City and Chelsea, in the United States.

Many will also hope that it will help improve player behaviour towards officials.

Pierluigi Collina, chairman of FIFA's referees committee, said: 'It is a good chance to offer the viewers a new experience, in terms of images taken from a perspective, from an angle of vision which was never offered before.
