UEFA Chief against FIFA’s Goal Line Technology

As per reports, it has been revealed that soccer's governing body FIFA has included the goal-line technology at the Club World Cup. The technology, which has been introduced for the first time, is not being appreciated by some experts.

It has been found that Michel Platini, head of UEFA, the 54-nation European block, has said that he is completely against the technology. Moreover, he thinks that the money could have been utilized to develop the game in a better way.

He is not the only one who was against the technology as FIFA President Sepp Blatter was also skeptical about the same. But, he changed his mind after having a number of discussions with experts.

"To put goal-line technology in our competitions is 50 million Euros ($64.63 million) in five years. I prefer to give the 50 million to the grassroots and development in football", said experts. They affirmed that it is not about this particular technology, main question is from where this technology begins and at which points it ends.

Moreover, a lot of money is involved, so one has to take decisions cautiously. Platini will be discussing the matter with Blatter as well as with other board members in a meeting, which will take place in Tokyo on Friday.
