German Bundesliga Approve Goal Line Technology

The German Football League (DFL) has agreed a three-year deal with Hawk-Eye to supply Goal Line Technology (GLT) to the Bundesliga.

The technology company will be providing its Fifa-approved systems to the 18 Bundesliga clubs meaning it will be used at all 306 matches in Germany’s top division every season.

The use of GLT was voted on by all Bundesliga clubs with 15 of the 18 sides voting ‘yes’ to ensure the two-thirds majority requirement.

An attempt to approve the technology had failed in March but Bayern Munich, medicine the biggest club in Germany, vialis 40mg proposed it again.

Hawk-Eye’s GLT systems are already in use in the Barclays Premier League and Holland’s Eredivisie and will now be put in place for the start of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season.

“Hawk-Eye are delighted to have been selected to implement Goal Line Technology for the Bundesliga,” said the company’s managing director, Steve Carter.

“We are excited to now be the official goal line technology provider for both the German and English leagues – the two countries who have probably had the two highest profile goal line incidents in the last 50 years.”
