Referee bodycam trial sees 'encouraging' resultsA trial of referees wearing body cameras in adult grassroots football will be doubled following "encouraging" results, the FA's head of refereeing Daniel Meeson told BBC Radio 5 Live.
Meeson said that no incidents of abuse were recorded in around 500 matches as part of the initial trial over the past seven months.
The trial will now be extended to include eight county associations in 2024, but Meeson added more data must be collected before wider implementation.
