TOKYO, Nov 16 (AFP): Football governing body FIFA may introduce goal-line technology at the 2010 World Cup if it proves effective at the world club championship in Japan next month, a FIFA executive said Friday.
In the experimental system, a microchip in the ball relays an electronic signal to the referee's watch when it crosses the goal line.
"FIFA is very much interested in the test results," FIFA executive Viacheslav Koloskov, head of the Club World Cup organising committee, told a news conference here.
"If everything is perceived well enough, this goal-line technology will be widely used in the World Cup in 2010," he said.
