TVC E, SPORTS – Goal-line technology will be introduced at Euro 2016 this summer and in the Champions League from next season, following a meeting of UEFA’s executive committee.
Disgraced UEFA president Michel Platini had been a long-time opponent of technology but he allowed officials to review its use for Euro 2016 in his native France before his ban.
The success of goal-line technology in the Premier League and World Cup proved crucial, especially after high-profile incidents in major competitions.
UEFA will maintain its system of having an extra official behind each goal-line as well as the technology.
