(Reuters) -Referee body cameras, a new eight-second rule for goalkeepers, and advanced semi-automated offside technology introduced at the Club World Cup have been hailed as a success, FIFA Referees Committee Chairman Pierluigi Collina said.
The tournament, which marked the inaugural edition of the expanded 32-team competition, was the first FIFA event to use body cameras on referees.
