Soccer's rule-making body is reopening discussions on the use of goal-line technology.
The International Football Association Board says it will test out various systems before discussing the results at its March 4-6 meeting, when ''the next steps of the process will be determined.''
IFAB says it will only consider technology to aid referees in deciding whether a ball has crossed the goal line. Only match officials can receive the information and IFAB says the system ''must be accurate.''
FIFA president Sepp Blatter reopened the debate on technology after mistakes at this year's World Cup helped eliminate England and Mexico.
