Referee Jarred Gillett will wear a camera for Monday night's Premier League fixture, with the footage forming part of a programme scheduled for later this year.
A referee will wear a camera for Monday's night's Premier League fixture between Crystal Palace and Manchester United. Integrated into the usual referee communications system for this fixture only, footage from Jarred Gillett's head-mounted device will not be broadcast live. Instead, it will form part of a programme to be screened later in the year to 'offer further insight and education into the demands of officiating' at the top level, the Premier League said.
This trial was expanded to eight county associations in December last year as figures showed allegations of serious offences against grassroots match officials had increased slightly. There were 1,451 such allegations in 2021-22, an increase of 1% on the previous campaign when 1,430 offences were recorded, FA data revealed. The figures, contained in the FA's Annual Grassroots Disciplinary Review, also showed 72 allegations of an actual or attempted assault were made in 2022-23.
