Gillett will wear a head-mounted device as part of the standard referee communication system
Officials have announced that referee Jarred Gillett will be wearing a camera during Monday’s Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
The Premier League stressed that the camera footage will not be broadcast live, but rather as part of a programme to be shown later this year that aims to “offer further insight and education into the demands of officiating” in English football’s top flight.
Gillett will wear a head-mounted device as part of the standard referee communication system for major matches.
The one-off use of the camera has been approved by the sport’s lawmakers, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), as well as the Premier League, Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and the clubs involved.
“We would like to thank Crystal Palace and Manchester United for their support with this project,” the Premier League said in a statement.
