A total of 12 cameras will be utilized around the field just to determine whether a player’s shoelace is ahead of another player, meaning the system is exclusive.FIFA is crossing the gender barrier by bringing in six female officials to work the men’s World Cup for the first time. Frappart was the first female to cross over and work at the highest level of the men’s game, taking charge of the 2019 UEFA Super Cup game between Liverpool and Chelsea.
