Goal-line technology has been approved as part of the laws of football in an historic decision by the International FA Board (IFAB).

Two systems, Hawk-Eye and GoalRef, have been approved by the IFAB after passing a series of scientific tests.

Technology could be introduced into the Premier League as soon as the new year following the decision at a meeting in Zurich.

The systems will first be used at December's Club World Cup - which features Chelsea - and if successful at the 2013 Confederations Cup and 2014 World Cup.

It could be implemented in the Premier League midway through next season.

In a statement following the announcement, the Premier League said they were a “long term advocate of goal-line technology”.

“We welcome the decision by the IFAB and will engage in discussions with both Hawkeye and GoalRef in the near future with a view to introducing goal-line technology as soon as is practically possible,” they added.

FA general secretary Alex Horne said it was up to the Premier League to decide on a timescale for implementation.

“It may be December until the technology is absolutely finally approved and installed in stadia,” he said at a press conference in Zurich. “Priority is given to the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

“The Premier League need to talk to the two technologies and the clubs. My understanding is that clubs are supportive and in principle as long as all clubs agree it could be introduced part-way through the season - it could be before the start of the 2013-14 season, it could be part-way through.

“It might be that it’s possible to have it part-way through the current season. If all 20 clubs agree a switch-on weekend, I don't think anyone is disadvantaged.”
