UEFA are set to make an official announcement on Friday regarding the use of goal-line technology and its introduction for the forthcoming European Championships and into European competition (Champions League and Europa League) for the 2016-17 season.

"We feel that with Euro 2016 just around the corner, it is a good opportunity for UEFA to introduce goal-line technology at a big tournament", Pierluigi Collina revealed.

"With goal-line technology, the additional assistants are released from this demanding task and can focus exclusively on controlling other incidents on the field", the chief refereeing officer pointed out.

The technology has already been used in recent World Cups, both men's and women's, as well as being seen in big domestic league competitions, such as those of Italy and England.
