ZURICH (AP) -Officials from two FIFA-approved goal-line technology systems have arrived in Japan on a Club World Cup inspection visit, hours after English football witnessed yet another disputed incident.
Everton was denied what appeared a clear goal against Newcastle in a Premier League match on Monday, as a referee's assistant did not spot that the ball had crossed the line.
FIFA says introducing goal-line technology is on schedule, and it is joining English firm Hawk-Eye and German-Danish project GoalRef this week at stadiums in Toyota and Yokohama where their systems will be used at the Dec. 6-16 club tournament.
FIFA's law-making panel cleared the technology for use in competitive matches in July after both passed two rounds of extensive tests.
Hawk-Eye and GoalRef are also scheduled for use at FIFA's Confederations Cup in Brazil next June.
