FIFA to consider goalline technology
|
|
World football’s governing body FIFA will introduce video cameras on goallines if the system is guaranteed to work effectively, president Sepp Blatter said yesterday.
The use of technology or video replays to help the referee will be discussed at an International Football Association Board (IFAB) meeting in March. The IFAB, which is made up of the four British football associations and four FIFA representatives, sets rules for the sport. "I am not absolutely against it. If the goalline technology is ready to be adopted, then I am only in agreement," Blatter told Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick. "If the system's security is guaranteed, we will introduce the goalline technology. But it won't be ready for the 2010 World Cup. We are not making any experiments there, also not with extra referees." Football officials have said stoppages to view replays will hamper the flow of matches and Blatter has publicly stood against football losing what he calls "its human face." Blatter also told reporters in Moscow yesterday that he will seek to continue as FIFA president for another four years when his current term ends in 2011. |
