Goal Line Technology Brief Report
INTERIM REPORT
Project Title:
Should goal-line technology be implemented in professional football?
Introduction
The aim of this project is to provide justification for or against the introduction of goal line technology in football.
Goal-line technology is a proposed technology which determines whether a ball has crossed the goal-line. Goal-line technology is yet to be implemented in a game of professional football. This is because football’s governing body FIFA have continuously declined its introduction.
This decision is considered to be very controversial in the footballing community. Issues such as whether the ball had crossed the line for a goal or corner kicks keep arising.
Progress Summary
I mentioned the aim of the project in the introduction. “To provide justification for or against the introduction of goal line technology in football”.
My objectives in order to meet the above aim are: * To produce a background to the political, social and technological issues that are preventing the implementation of goal-line technology in football. * Conduct research into the problem. * I will also produce a literature review, which will identify strengths/weaknesses in my research areas. * A set of acceptance criteria will also be produced for the problem. * I will look at various approaches that could be used to tackle the problem. * Through looking at the various approaches I will select the most appropriate one to apply. I will then be able to produce recommendation for FIFA who are considering goal line technology but are put off by various political, social, technological and economic issues. * Conclusions and recommendations can then be drawn based on an overall analysis. I will then be able to show that I have met the aim of the project and the activities that need to be done.
Articulation of problem
The problem of whether goal-line technology should be implemented is a big issue in the present day. However, it is
