The French Football Federation (FFF) has recently decided to ban amateur goalkeepers from attaching cameras to goal nets to record matches and share content on social media. This decision is based on an international rule from Ifab, the organization that governs football globally. Specifically, regulation 1.12 states that "no equipment (cameras, microphones, etc.) can be attached to goals, goal nets, corner flags, or corner posts." While this rule has been in place for over a decade, it has not been strictly enforced in most countries, and no other nation has imposed such a ban. One goalkeeper, Luca Sann, a 21-year-old from Champagne, has been using a 360° camera attached to his goal net for three years without any issues. He claims the camera has not caused damage to the net, injuries, or disputes over goals. His content on social media (sannox_yt) has attracted millions of views, showing the popularity of this practice. Another goalkeeper, Alexandre Vétois from Vanves, had to remove his camera after an official informed him it was now prohibited. He received this notice during a Coupe de France match when an official told him about the new restriction. Luca Mutsch, a goalkeeper from Germany and a coach in England, expressed surprise at the FFF's decision. He and others were unaware of such a rule and worried that the ban could reduce the visibility of amateur football. Joyce Kpr, a goalkeeper from FC Ballancourt, noted that some colleagues had already received yellow cards for using cameras, emphasizing that the camera adds authenticity to content, which is vital for amateur players whose roles are often overlooked. Sann highlighted that the camera creates a sense of unity, as opponents often enjoy being featured in the videos. He also mentioned that the content can be financially rewarding, with some creators earning a living from their videos, while others rely on inconsistent income. Sann and another goalkeeper have begun a petition to discuss the issue with football authorities. They have tested alternatives like using a tripod behind the goal or a pole with a camera above the net, but these methods lack the immersive quality of the original setup. Some critics argue that the FFF's approach is more restrictive than that of the English Football Association, and there have been calls for a strike by French goalkeepers to protest the new rule.
