FIFA
has confirmed goal-line technology will be used at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The
system was successfully trialled at the Club World Cup in December, and is
being used for this summer's Confederations Cup.
A FIFA
statement said: "After a successful implementation of Goal-Line Technology
(GLT) at the Club World Cup in Japan in December 2012, FIFA has decided to use
GLT at the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Finally
FIFA are beginning to bring football into the 21st century and in
line with all the other sports, technology wise.
I
think it’s worth mentioning the fact that this technology has been available
for quite some time yet it has taken until now to implement, but given FIFA’s
track record you’d have to call this real progress.
All
they have to do now is build on this and address the other glaring problems in
football, like racism and club finances.
