The use of goal-line
technology, which was successfully deployed again at this year’s FIFA Club
World Cup and is much appreciated by referees, was praised by the committee,
including European Club Association (ECA) Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and
FIFPro Secretary General Theo van Seggelen.
Furthermore, the two
outstanding items of FIFA’s governance reform process – limits on age and terms
of office, both of which will be on the agenda at next year’s FIFA Congress –
were discussed at today’s meeting.
An important part of the
meeting was devoted to areas relating to the protection of the game, in
particular the fight against discrimination and racism, match manipulation and
doping. Among the other topics
discussed today were the use of video evidence for disciplinary matters – only
possible after the game – and the promotion of women’s football.
