Danish league to test goal-line technology

FIFA said testing of the system would take place at the Silkeborg-Sonderyske and Nordsjaelland-AC Horsens matches.

Rival system Hawk-Eye is being tested in two minor league games in England, the first being the Hampshire FA Senior Cup final between Totton and Eastleigh later on Wednesday.

"Only the [test] observer in the stadium will have access to the Goal Line Technology system readings," said FIFA.

"Therefore, should a goal-line incident occur in any of the test matches, the system will not be utilised by the match officials, meaning the GLT system will have no influence on the outcome of the matches in which the system is being tested."

A final decision on which system will be used is expected to be taken at a meeting of the International Football Association Board, football's rule-making body, in Kiev on July 2.
