"This has been on the table for quite some time. It was discussed in depth today and we decided that a decision on the use would be taken in January at the next executive committee meeting," Infantino told a news conference after an executive committee in western Paris.

"There is a positive attitude towards that. Then there are practical aspects. If we go for the goal line technology, it will be for the top competitions next season.

"There are logistical challenges."

Goal line technology is currently used in the English Premier League, the French Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and was also utilised at the World Cup in Brazil last year.
