LAGOS, June 7 -- FIFA instructor Adegboye Onigbinde on Saturday described the introduction of goal-line at the 2014 Brazil World Cup as a welcome development.
Nigeria-born Onigbinde, former head coach of the Super Eagles, told reporters in Lagos that the introduction of the technology would clear all doubts about shoddy goals.
For the first time at a World Cup, the officials would be assisted by goal-line technology.
The 2010 World Cup was a catalyst for the decision to adopt the technology after England was wrongly denied a goal in their round 16 tie against Germany, when Frank Lampard's goal was disallowed against Germany.
According to Onigbinde, there has been test runs in some FIFA competitions including the 2013 Confederation Cup.
The new technology will give confidence to all participants, he added, noting that it will clear all doubts and it will also reduce controversies.
The 2014 World Cup kicks off on June 12 and ends on July 13.
