Serie A at the forefront: the micro-camera on the referee debuts Saturday, September 13

The Serie A Football League is among the few professional European leagues selected for the testing of this innovation, already tested during the recent Club World Cup, in line with FIFA and IFAB protocols. "The high-resolution micro-camera, weighing only 6 grams, will be mounted at the base of the microphone arch of the First Match Official - the League specifies in a note - and can be used during warm-up, during the match, on the occasion of free kicks and other similar situations, or to provide spectacular replays. The signal will be integrated into the television production and also provided to the Var as an isolated feed".

According to Luigi De Siervo, CEO of the Serie A Football League, "the introduction of the Refcam represents a step forward in innovation and offers fans a unique perspective on the referee's vision in various game actions. Our goal is to make the audience's experience more immersive, enhancing the show with exclusive images. The League is constantly at the forefront in adopting technologies that improve television enjoyment, promote Italian football globally and ensure greater transparency in refereeing decisions". With the Refcam, fans will finally be able to perceive live the point of view of those who direct the game, adding an unprecedented level of involvement to Serie A matches.
