Africa-Press – Tanzania. The referees’ union voiced strong opposition to the introduction of RefCam after its first use in Juventus’ 4-3 thriller against Inter. Referee Andrea Colombo wore the device, giving fans an unprecedented view of the action from the referee’s perspective during set pieces and tense phases of play.
While hailed as a major innovation for television, it sparked immediate controversy. Referees argue that the technology poses risks to their concentration and may interfere with decision-making in crucial moments. They stress that officiating already carries intense pressure, and adding a camera could distract from the focus required to manage games at the highest level.
Supporters, however, see RefCam as a step forward for football, offering spectators transparency and a more immersive experience. Serie A now faces a crossroads, balancing entertainment value with the referees’ concerns, as the future of this technology hangs in the balance.
