[Saba Sports News] Just before the Premier League match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, the Premier League released a piece of news, announcing that referees will wear cameras for the first time. It is reported that the referee will use a head-mounted device called RefCam, but the video will not be broadcast live. The footage will be used in a program giving viewers an insight into refereeing in the Premier League, a first for the Premier League. It is reported that the plan has been agreed upon by various departments such as the two clubs and the Premier League, but the filmed footage will not be broadcast live, but will be used in future short films to promote match officials. The editor believes that this kind of technology can also be adopted by other leagues because the introduction of these technologies can help referees make better penalty decisions, and it can also allow the audience to better understand the game situation. This is a good thing for referees as well as players because it helps make decisions more accurately and reduces disputes. For players, unfair treatment can be reduced. If they encounter a misjudgment, they have more evidence to appeal.
