FIFA officials will discuss the merits of camera-based goal-line technology next month, with changes in the current laws possible depending on the outcome of the meeting in Switzerland.The matter will be addressed at the AGM of the International Football Association Board on March 4 in Lucerne, following new information from the Italian FA. At the recent Under-17 World Championship in Peru, tests were made on a ball with a chip inserted to help referees, but the meeting in Switzerland will focus on cameras.A statement from FIFA read: "Information from the Italian FA will be presented to the members of the IFAB on goal-line technology that uses high-performance digital cameras rather than a chip-implanted ball or any fixed installation on the playing field or in the goal posts."
