FIFA test goal line technology systems in Germany
In their bid to introduce the goal line technology into top-flight football, Football's governing
body FIFA tested out two different systems at a stadium in Germany on Tuesday.
The two systems tested
out at Duesseldorf Arena Tuesday include- the 'Goal-Ref', a system which can
verify whether a goal has been scored by using a chip in the ball, and
'Hawk-Eye', the camera system already used in tennis.
The Goal-line
technology was already in use at December's Club World Cup in Tokyo and is
expected to be used at both the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup
in Brazil.
Before it will be approved for usage in any of
FIFA’s competitive match, several realistic factors that could affect the
system such as weather, and fire were included in the test, speaking in a
statement, FIFA said-
"The goal-line
technology will be tested for performance and reliability. There will be static
and dynamic tests to stimulate day and night situations,"
A decision on which
system will be used is expected to be made at the International Football
Association Board's (IFAB) next meeting in Edinburgh from March 1-3.
