GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY APPROVED BY UEFA FOR EURO 2016 AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

UEFA says it will use goal-line technology at this year's European Championship, and in the Champions League from next season.
The UEFA executive committee approved giving its referees more technical help at top competitions, but the decision did not commit UEFA to choosing a goal-line technology (GLT) provider.
Platini had been a long-time opponent of technology but he allowed UEFA officials to review its use for Euro 2016 in his native France before his eight-year ban from all football activity.
The success of goal-line technology in the Premier League and World Cup proved crucial, especially after high-profile incidents in major competitions. Ukraine were denied a goal against England at Euro 2012, while two years earlier Frank Lampard was denied a World Cup goal for England against Germany.
UEFA will maintain its system of having an extra official behind each goal-line as well as the technology.
FIFA used the GoalControl system at the 2014 World Cup. The German company and Britain's Hawk-Eye system are widely used in European leagues.
