FIFA is introducing several key innovations at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 to improve fan engagement, transparency, and operational efficiency. Referees will wear body cameras, offering fans a live view of decisions from the referee’s perspective, shown on stadium screens for better understanding. An advanced semi-automated offside system using AI and ball sensors will speed up offside decisions, while referees will still validate complex cases.
FIFA will also use new algorithms to collect live match data automatically and introduce digital substitution tablets to replace manual methods. These steps aim to modernize match operations and enhance the viewing experience.
All matches will be streamed live and free on DAZN.com, marking a historic and tech-driven edition of the tournament.Tools
