What is the referee cam used at the 2026 World Cup?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup opened on Thursday with referee body cameras deployed for the first time across all 104 matches. The headset-mounted “Referee Body Camera” provides live or replay footage from the referee’s viewpoint. FIFA’s technology partner Lenovo applied AI-based real-time stabilisation to cut motion blur by up to 50 percent and installed servers at the Dallas International Broadcast Centre. FIFA said the footage is not included in the standard feed for media partners.
