Football’s world governing body, FIFA has revealed that it has invited leagues and federations interested in running video replay trials to inspect the technology next month.
The May 18-20 workshop in Amsterdam is a key step in FIFA’s ambitious two-year target to use video review at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Dutch federation was chosen because it has run experiments since 2013 with video assistants helping referees although their trial have not been live in a competitive match.
Football’s rule-making panel, the International Football Association’s Board (IFAB), will confirm later in May which competitions will take part in trials.
FIFA says those that want to run and fund experiments “will be allowed to do so.”
IFAB also has disclosed that video replay is restricted to decisions on goals being scored, penalties being awarded, players being sent off and cases of mistaken identity.
