The English Premier League has successfully pioneered the system in league football after it was first adopted for last year’s World Cup and the German Bundesliga voted in December to bring it in next term.

"Our meeting this morning has opened the way to the use of goalline technology in our country," Italian FA chief Carlo Tavecchio said in a statement.
