If it goes wrong, don't blame us-Fifa

Goal-line technology firms must take out insurance if it goes wrong

The two goal-line technology companies recently signed by FIFA; Hawk-Eye and GoalRef have been told by FIFA to take out insurance cover so they won't face costly lawsuits if they fail to spot a goal or players and officials are injured by their equipment.

The two technology companies have recieved official authorization to install their systems worldwide after being granted licences by FIFA.

FIFA told the companies to provide insurance so that, if the systems fail-either failing to spot the ball has crossed the line or registering wrongly that the ball was over the line - they are covered if legal action is launched against them.

My advice is, they should just be ready for litigations.
