Following approval by the IFAB for the use of small handheld technologies on the bench, FIFA is set to offer all the teams at the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ a technical setup for match analysts and coaching team to interact.

FIFA, for the first time at one of its tournaments, will provide real-time positional data and video footage to the team’s analysts positioned on the media tribune as well as a stable connection down to the coaching team next to the pitch that can use this information for immediate action. The animation explains this interaction in more detail.
