Bankstown association to commence trial of body cameras after Khodr Yaghi had three teeth knocked out
Body cameras will be worn by referees in aKhodr Yaghi, 45, needed reconstructive surgery and spent four nights in hospitalIn response, Bankstown District Amateur Football Association will from Friday begin a body camera trial for referees in men’s premier league matches.
“Once the trial is running and we have evaluated its effectiveness, we will look to roll out body cameras in other competitions,” the league said. The league has also cracked down on abuse directed at referees, saying some coaches and managers considered it “their right to question or worse, argue or abuse referees”.
Coaches and managers who approach referees before, during or after a match to question decisions will be red-carded and cause their team to forfeit the match. Dissent or abusive language from the sidelines will continue to be policed with a yellow card but a repeat instance will result in the manager’s suspension and a team’s forfeiture.
