There are many disputes whether it was a goal or not between the players,players and referees and even between fans.They loss their sweat over this.Now International Football Association Board (IFAB) has decided to introduce technology in making quick right decision over this question.The board has often debated over the topics more recently as to remove the doubt of referees and help them to make quick and more precise decision by implementing some technology.In the meeting of the board at the Miskin Manor hotel,the FIFA partner Adidas along with the German company Cairos AG have developed a system to check,whether a score has been made or not,with a prototype of a ball with an embedded electronics chip and also announced the necessary stadium infrastructure and demonstrated how the system works.The presentation made the F.A. Board to decide the system to be tested in competitive football and also empowered FIFA to implement the technology at the U-17 World Championship at Peru.President of FIFA Joseph S. Blatter welcomed the Board’s decision and quoted as “Not a day goes by without technology making progress. We therefore have a duty to at least examine whether new technology could be used in football. The Board had already agreed to test goal-line technology, provided that the systems were available. The critical issue, however, will be to ensure that such technology would not affect the Laws’ universal nature or the authority of match officials.”
