Goal line technology has become an integral part of professional football. Many football leagues across Europe now rely on the technology to support decisions marginal goal events.

Due to the critical importance of the goal decision, FIFA have developed a certification programme for goal line technology to approve commercial systems for use in the game.

Labosport are a FIFA approved goal line technology test institute and have conducted annual final installation tests in hundreds of football stadiums around the world since 2013.

FINAL INSTALLATION TESTS

For all stadiums, each goal line technology installation is subjected to a rigorous annual test and certification process before it can be used in match play. The tests are designed to challenge the ability of the goal line technology to accurately indicate if a goal has been scored or not. The tests include a myriad of marginal and restricted view goal scenarios. The testing requires extensive specialist equipment including calibrated high-speed video (2000 frames per second), ball cannons and target apparatus.
