World Cup referees will wear body cameras, a novelty announced by FIFA on Tuesday (8).

According to the entity, the use of cameras will be on an experimental basis, after being approved last month by IFAB, the FIFA body that decides the laws of the sport.
In addition to the cameras, FIFA confirmed that it will apply the new rule against the famous "time-wasting" of goalkeepers, awarding a corner kick to the opposing team if they keep the ball for more than eight seconds.
There is already a punishment for this, a direct free kick, but referees rarely punish goalkeepers for "time-wasting".
"We think it's a good chance to offer spectators a new experience, in terms of images taken from a perspective, from an angle of view that has never been offered before," said Pierluigi Collina, president of the FIFA Referees Committee. "It's a combination of new experiences for broadcasters and also for training purposes," he added.

According to Collina, who has refereed World Cup and Champions League finals, the novelty will be important for evaluating refereeing decisions.
"Having the possibility to see what the referee sees is important for evaluating how the referee made the decision, what their vision was, and so on," he said.
The use of cameras on referees has already been tested in Europe, with referee Michael Bacher, in a friendly match between Bayern and Grasshoppers last year.
The German used a camera attached to his uniform, with the images from the "referee's camera" being released by the Bavarian club on their social media.
The new FIFA competition will feature 32 teams, between June 14 and July 13, in the United States.

England booed by its fans after loss to Senegal in international friendly
Boos rang out as England left the field after a 3-1 loss to Senegal in a friendly on Tuesday which marked the first defeat of Thomas Tuchel's tenure as coach. Senegal recovered from conceding Harry Kane's early goal to become the first team from Africa to record a victory over England. "We're not going to panic. But, for sure, we know we need to do better," England captain Kane told broadcaster ITV and suggested England had lost "that aggressive nature that we've had." In World Cup qualifying on Tuesday, the Netherlands beat Malta 8-0 and Austria beat San Marino 4-0. England's landmark loss Kane was the only player retained in Tuchel's starting lineup from last week's 1-0 win over Andorra, which had caused Tuchel to criticize his team's attitude. The changes brought little improvement. Kane's record-extending 73rd England goal gave his team the lead in the seventh minute, when he bundled in after a goalkeeping error by Edouard Mendy. Senegal was a step above Tuchel's previous England opponents Albania, Latvia and Andorra, and England conceded for the first time in his tenure in the 40th minute. Nicolas Jackson chased down a long pass and hooked it back for the onrushing Ismaila Sarr to score after having outpaced Kyle Walker. Senegal's second goal followed a long ball to Habib Diarra, who seemed to be attempting a pass of his own when the ball deflected in off goalkeeper Dean Henderson's leg. Jude Bellingham thought he'd leveled the game for England with a goal at a corner in the 84th, but it was ruled out for an earlier handball by Levi Colwill. Senegal made it 3-1 when Cheikh Sabaly finished off a counter in stoppage time. Depay ties a Dutch record Memphis Depay tied the scoring record for the Netherlands men's national team with two goals in the eight-goal win over Malta. Depay scored in the ninth and 16th minutes for his 49th and 50th goals, equaling a record set by team great Robin van Persie. Depay hit 50 goals in his 102nd game for the Netherlands, while van Persie's 50th came in his 101st game in 2015. In other World Cup qualifiers in Europe on Tuesday, Romania won 2-0 against Cyprus, Serbia beat Andorra 3-0 and Latvia drew 1-1 with Albania. Finland's game against Poland was suspended because of a medical emergency with Finland leading 2-1. The game later resumed. Reporting by The Associated Press.

‘No need to panic', insists Tuchel after England slump to Senegal defeat
Thomas Tuchel insisted England should not panic over their World Cup prospects despite being humbled by Senegal one year and one day before the tournament starts. Tuchel suffered the first defeat of his reign at the City Ground and England their first loss to African opposition in 22 matches as Senegal ran out deserving 3-1 winners. Jude Bellingham had a goal controversially disallowed at 2-1 but, after the laboured win against Andorra in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, there was no disguising the paucity of England's latest performance under their German coach. England were booed off for the second game in succession.

'We lost a test match so there is no need to panic,' said Tuchel. 'We have three qualification games, we have nine points, we have not conceded and we will be competitive in September and we will go for two more victories, 100%. We know more now, we are smarter. It is tough at the moment. I am the first one to dislike and hate losses but we don't go next week, we go in one year and I think by nature it will get more competitive in the nomination process and in the demands for players to be nominated and to be with us in September, October, November because we are in a World Cup season.' Tuchel defended his decision to leave Ivan Toney on the bench until the 88th minute, explaining the striker was at his best inside the box and England were not close enough to it when he brought on Morgan Rogers instead. But he conceded the defeat, plus two poor performances, would leave a bad feeling throughout the summer. Advertisement The England head coach said: 'Now we go into a long break with a bad feeling and a loss which is simply not nice and not what we wanted. I will never be glad for a loss. I'm glad for a tough test and challenges. We wanted to feel the quality of a top-20 team and we felt their quality. We felt what it means to them. I heard them in the dressing room before the match, I heard them in the dressing room after the match so I know how much it means to them to play against us. How much joy they expressed if they make this happen. 'It's the right thing to test, the right thing to challenge. Of course we demand a lot of ourselves and I demand more of myself, we wanted to play better against Andorra, and do better today. It is a tough learning.'
