FIFA announced that Hawk-Eye will be used at the 2015 Women’s World Cup in Canada. This will be the second time that it has been used in a FIFA competition. It was initially used at the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
One day before the draw for the tournament was made in December last year, FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke accounced that goal line technology would be used at the tournament. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil used GoalControl in moments of controversy.
Hawk-Eye, a British system, is already used widely in tennis as well as in the Premier League. Seven cameras, suspended from the roof of the stadium, focus on each goal and when the images are put together it can determine the exact position of the ball, even if only a small part of it is visible. When a goal is scored a signal is then sent to the referee’s armband.
The technology will be used in the Bundesliga next season. The 18 current clubs decided this at the end of last year.
