IFAB to Talk Goal-Line Tech
An update on goal-line technology tops the agenda for a Saturday meeting of the International Football Association Board in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Other talking points include a clarification to the interpretation of offside, the usage of electronic performance monitoring systems and the rules governing a dropped ball.
"The IFAB will also discuss its future consultation and decision-making processes, as well as its future structure," says a FIFA statement.
"The self-reform of the International Football Association Board was a proposal that stemmed from FIFA’s agreement to major reforms of its governance which were presented to the FIFA Executive Committee at the end of March 2012, and subsequently presented at the FIFA Congress in Budapest last May."
