ZURICH, May 3 (Reuters) - FIFA has set out a timetable for goal-line technology tests with a first stage to be held later this year and a final report to be presented to the rule-making body, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), in July next year.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has already said that goal-line technology could be used at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil if a suitable system could be found by then.
FIFA invited interested suppliers of technology to apply by June 3 and said the first stage of tests would be held between September and December.
A shortlist of the best systems would be produced and they would undergo more tests between March and June next year.
The debate was re-ignited on Saturday when Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League with a late goal in which replays showed that the ball did not cross the line.
