FIFA tell goal-line firms to get insured
FIFA have ordered goal-line technology companies to take out insurance in case clubs or leagues take legal action claiming the systems are not working properly.
Hawk-Eye and GoalRef have received authorisation to install their systems worldwide after being granted licences by FIFA.
But the companies have had to provide insurance so that if the systems fail - either failing to spot the ball has crossed the line or registering wrongly that the ball was over the line - they are covered if legal action is launched.
