Referee body-cameras could be used at next summer's World Cup after the game's lawmakers formally gave the green light to extend their use on Wednesday.

The cameras were used at the Club World Cup in the United States, which finished earlier this month, and the directors of the International Football Association Board, which sets football's laws, have given their approval for other competitions around the world to follow suit.
