No goal-line controversy will
be witnessed during any English Premier League match next season. All 20 English topflight clubs on Thursday voted to approve the British Hawkeye goalline technology which involves several camera’s behind each goal.
It could be recalled that FIFA recently approved ‘GoalControl’,a
camera-based system from Germany, would be used at this year’s Confederations
Cup in Brazil and, if successful, would be implemented at the 2014 World Cup
also in Brazil.
The English Premier League
will be the first domestic league to adopt goalline technology while Spain’s la
Liga are reportedly keen to follow suit within two to three years, The German
Bundesliga within three to four years while The Italians have no such plans for
now.
Although unconfirmed,
Hawkeye’s debut appearance on English turf could even be at the pre-season
Community Shield at Wembley after the Football Association sanctioning its testing
at an England v Belgium international friendly last June (Euronews.com)
