German company GoalControl has been selected to provide goal-line technology at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

GoalControl will be used at this year’s Confederations Cup in Brazil and will be used a year later, provided the performance reaches the requirements.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter pushed for technology after Frank Lampard’s goal was ruled out in England’s 4-1 defeat by Germany in the 2010 World Cup.
