GoalRef and Hawk-Eye can be installed worldwide after authorisation from FIFA

GoalRef and Hawk-Eye have been authorised to install their goal-line technology systems worldwide after signing licence agreements with FIFA.

Tuesday's announcement arrived nearly a year after football's governing body began an exhaustive search for systems that could reliably detect whether a ball had crossed the line or not.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) approved the use of the technology in July following a series of high-profile incidents in which officials failed to make correct goal-line decisions.
The first competitive tournament using the systems is expected to be FIFA's Club World Cup in Japan in December.
"Between October 2011 and June 2012, both companies passed a series of extensive laboratory and field tests, tests in simulated match situations, as well as tests in live matches," said FIFA in a statement.
"This milestone in the goal-line technology process, which began in 2011, means that the two companies now have official authorisation to install their respective goal-line technology systems worldwide."
Both companies have been ordered to take out insurance cover in case clubs or leagues take legal action claiming the systems are not working properly.
FIFA's statement continued: "This policy should provide sufficient insurance coverage for claims being raised by third parties due to the licensee's activities or omissions (failure to act) as well as claims being raised due to potentially faulty (manufactured) products.
"A claim is deemed as a demand for compensation of bodily injury, property damage and pure financial loss. The policy shall be concluded with a well-respected and reputable national or international insurance company."
