World Cup
FIFA will make a final decision on goal-line technology in March, according to president Sepp Blatter.
The debate over whether or not a review system should be introduced to the game has been a bone of contention for some time now.
But with support for it mounting, the Swiss has opened investigations and has not ruled out using such technology at the next World Cup.
As a result, FIFA is talking to nine potential suppliers who are conducting tests to meet strict criteria including being 100% sure within a single second whether the ball has crossed the line.
“We will have on the next international board at the beginning of March next year a final decision on goal-line technology,” Blatter told reporters at a news conference ahead of Saturday’s World Cup qualifying draw.
“If it will prove to be accurate and to be affordable, then it is possible the international board will decide goal-line technology shall be introduced for the World Cup 2014.”
