FIFA confirmed today that the technology ‘hawk-eye’ will be used in goal line during the World Cup 2015 women’s football, which begins on 06 June in Edmonton, Canada.
It will be the first time a technology for goal-line (GLT) will be used in a large women’s football event, following the success that ‘GoalControl’, another system had on Mundial2014 in Cup Confederations and the three World clubs.
This decision follows a competition launched in December 2014, in which FIFA invited the licensed providers supply GLT technology to participate in an inspection visit to stadiums that will host the Mundial2015 in Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and Winnipeg.
The ‘hawk eye’, used for some years in tennis, is a system based on seven chambers installed in the highest possible point of the structure of the stadium and uses the latest technology to capture and resolution of images, with the ability to locate the ball at all times, even if it is only detected by two of the seven chambers.
It is a system that has pinpoint accuracy and providing an indication of whether a goal was valid or not within one second through a vibration and a visual signal in the match referee’s watch.
Technology ‘Eye and Hawk’ will be tested at each stage that will host the competition by an independent entity and the referees will also make their own tests, according to the operating procedures approved by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the body that guardianships soccer rules.
The Mundial2015 will be the second event of the FIFA to use this particular technology, after the Club World Cup 2012, which was played in Japan, and will be played between June 6 and . July 05, with the participation of 24 teams
