FIFA president Gianni Infantino says a move to five substitutes has 'strong support from the entire football community'Football's rules body on Monday said that five substitutes would be permanently introduced for all top games and that a 3D offside detector is closer to being introduced for this year's World Cup.
FIFA's referees chief Pierluigi Collina said he was"confident" that the system would be introduced in time for the 32-nation tournament. English Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham said that more than eight million data-position points are recorded each match. It is officially known as"semi-automatic" as it will still be the referee that makes a final decision on an offside ruling.
IFAB said that trials with body cameras on referees may be started in a bid to counter a growing number of attacks on match officials. Growing concern has been raised about the impact of head injuries on players -- with many suffering from dementia and Parkinson's disease in later.
