Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Pierluigi Collina, chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee, praised the impact of new technologies used at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, saying innovations such as the referee body camera, semi-automatic offside alerts, and stricter time enforcement improved game flow and fan experience.<\/p>\n

Speaking to FIFA\u2019s official website, the former Italian referee said the newly tested referee cam offered more than just entertainment value.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome of using the ref cam here at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 went beyond our expectations,\u201d Collina said. \u201cWe thought it would have been an interesting experience for TV viewers and we\u2019ve received great comments.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that the footage gave audiences the chance to see the match from the referee\u2019s perspective \u2014 a tool FIFA also used for referee training and performance analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not only for entertainment purposes,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was also for coaching the referees \u2014 to explain why something was not seen on the field of play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collina also welcomed the introduction of the new eight-second rule designed to reduce time-wasting by goalkeepers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very successful. The tempo of the match was improved,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had no time lost by goalkeepers keeping the ball between their hands for a very long time \u2014 as happened quite often in matches before.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlighted the successful use of semi-automatic offside technology, which helps alert assistant referees faster and more accurately.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alert went to the assistant referees well before, when there was a clear offside position,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, it worked very well. We have the goals disallowed \u2014 correctly disallowed \u2014 and we also had correct decisions supported by the semi-automatic offside technology. We are very happy, very pleased.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup concludes Sunday with the final between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
