Singapore, Aug. 11: The issue of goalline technology is on the agenda for the International Football Association Board’s (IFAB) October meeting, Fifa president Sepp Blatter said on Wednesday.
Blatter said that IFAB, the body responsible for determining the rules of the sport, had agreed in their July meeting to put the issue on their agenda for their official gathering in Wales from October 19 and 20. “At this meeting (in October), we will bring the point of goalline technology,” Blatter said. “It is now on the agenda.” The debate on the use of technology was raised again when England’s Frank Lampard was denied a goal in their World Cup second round defeat to Germany in June.
