 New technology could have given Pedro Mendes' goal count |
The laws of football could be changed to incorporate advances in goal-line technology when Fifa and Football Association officials meet in March. The AGM of the International Football Association Board will discuss the matter at its Lucerne AGM on 4 March.
The recent Under-17 World Championship in Peru tested a ball with a microchip inserted, but the Ifab meeting will focus on camera-based technology.
The Ifab includes Fifa and the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish FAs.
A statement from Fifa read: "Information from the Italian FA will be presented to the members of the Ifab on goal-line technology that uses high-performance digital cameras rather than a chip-implanted ball or any fixed installation on the field or in the goal posts."
