The new goal-line technology system, Hawk-Eye, will be unveiled at Wembley Stadium for this first time this Sunday, when Manchester United face Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield.
The technology which is being hailed as “one of the biggest changes in the 150 years since the game’s laws were conceived”, by FA general secretary Alex Horne, will be used in the English Premier League this season, after many years of campaigning by managers and football pundits.
The Hawk-Eye system, has 14 cameras and will be used at every Premiership stadium next season. A signal would be sent to the referee’s watch and earpiece within a second, to confirm that the ball has indeed crossed the line.
UEFA president Michel Platini is not a big supporter of the technology, which means it will not be implemented in European competitions. FIFA have however picked a different goal-line system, Goal Control, which was used at the Confederations Cup earlier this year and will be in place for next year’s World Cup in Brazil.
