Goal-Line Technology To Be Implemented Next Season

All Premier League clubs will be forced to have goal-line technology systems in place as early as next season.

The Premier League are in "advanced talks" with Hawkeye and GoalRef, two of the three systems approved by the FA. Goal-line Technology was successfully trialed during the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan, with every one of the 21 goals successfully registered.

All Top Tier sides, even those newly promoted, must be ready to install these new technologies by the beginning of the 2013/2014 season.

"We are in advanced discussions with two of the companies who provide the systems and we are working on the basis of having goal-line technology in place for the start of the season," said Premier League communications director Dan Johnson.

"All clubs will have to have the system to ensure the universal integrity of the competition, including those who are promoted."

Premier League boss's will choose a system taking into account the cost and ease of implementing and use.
