Serie A is set to make history by introducing RefCam technology in the upcoming Juventus vs. Inter match.
The Lega Serie A is taking a significant step forward in enhancing the televisual experience of watching top-flight Italian matches. For the first time in the league’s history, RefCam technology will be utilized in the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia between Juventus and Inter.
This innovative camera system allows supporters at home to see the game from the referee’s perspective, providing a unique and immersive viewing experience.
The RefCam is a tiny, high-resolution micro-camera weighing only 6 grams, attached to the bottom of the referee’s microphone headband.
It will capture live action, set pieces, and provide spectacular replays for broadcast and VAR officials. This technology has already been tested in the recent FIFA Club World Cup and is being trialed in Serie A with the Juventus-Inter match.
The Lega Serie A has confirmed that the RefCam will be used during warm-ups, live matches, and when preparing for free kicks and similar situations. The footage will also be used to show replays of specific in-game incidents, providing valuable insights into the referee’s decision-making process. Additionally, the RefCam footage will be available to VAR officials in the control room, enhancing the accuracy of their decisions.
According to the Lega Serie A, the introduction of RefCam technology is part of their efforts to push the boundaries of technological innovation in football. The league is committed to providing an exceptional viewing experience for fans and promoting transparency in the game. By incorporating RefCam technology, Serie A aims to set a new standard for sports broadcasting.
The Juventus-Inter match, scheduled for Saturday, September 13, at 6 p.m. at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, will mark a historic moment in Italian football.
The RefCam technology is expected to enhance the overall viewing experience, providing fans with a unique perspective on the game.
With the RefCam set to make its debut in Italy, football fans can look forward to a more immersive and engaging viewing experience.
