IFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has announced that goal-line technology has been given approval by the game’s law-making body.
Following nine months of testing in England, Germany, Hungary and Italy, at a special meeting in Zurich on Thursday, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) decided to introduce goal-line technology.
Of the eight companies that took part in the first round of tests, only two systems – Hawk-Eye and GoalRef – successfully completed the process and can now apply to become FIFA goal-line technology licensees.
