Referees wearing body cameras designed to deter abusive behaviour from players and coaches are already experiencing positive results, according to a new trial.
Cameras have been introduced following a rise in abuse of grassroots football match officials and are currently being used at four county Football Associations in England.
The trial will run for the rest of this season and the whole of next season in the adult grassroots game.
The camera does not record footage of an entire match. Instead, the referee can activate it at the click of a button, should they feel it necessary.
