The Premier League has confirmed that, although the footage from the camera will not be broadcast live, it will be made available for viewers to watch in full at a later date and it will also be featured as part of a one-off documentary that will promote match officials. There have been previous examples of similar cameras used in football, such as Youri Tielemans of Aston Villa, who used a bodycam to document his debut for the club in 2009. A video of what “RefCam,” the new camera to be trialed by the Premier League, could look like has surfaced online. Referee Jarrad Gillett will wear the device during Monday’s Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
