FIFA may introduce goal-line technology at the 2010 World Cup if it proves effective at next month’s world club championship in Japan.
In the experimental system, a microchip in the ball relays an electronic signal to the referee’s watch when it crosses the goal line - thus the interest from FIFA.
According to FIFA, “If everything is perceived well enough, this goal-line technology will be widely used in the World Cup in 2010″
It will no doubt be a case of “when” rather than “whether” more high-end technology will be introduced in soccer… a sport that has traditionally been stubborn to change.
