In the football match between MLS All-Stars and A.S. Roma, the broadcasters, wanting to try something different, made the referee wear a video camera, which was fixed to his head. Here is a video of a few moments from the match as seen by the referee himself.
By doing so, the broadcasters were able to capture the intense in-game footage that can help the fans capture the essence of the sport they love.
This latest innovation in the game is set to change the way football is broadcasted to its millions of fans. Imagine being able to see the action from the referee’s point of view! No longer will fans lose their minds when a penalty is awarded against their team, as the ref-cam will come to the rescue and make everything clear.

The microphone attached to the ref-cam will also pick up some of the banter that is common on a football field but which at present is unavailable for general viewing.
The Ref Cam technology is in its nascent stages, but it is entirely possible that in a few years time, you will be sitting at home, watching the biggest game in football in high-definition and able to see your favourite stars up close and personal! With this technology, the possibilities are endless.
