 INTRODUCTION
In this presentation, I will tell you about how
science and technology have changed the game of
football . I will also show you how the various
technological rules and regulations implemented in the
game have created buzz around the world.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
IWOULD LIKE TO MY THANKS MY
MENTOR FOR GIVING ME AN
OPPURTUNITY TO MAKE A
POWERPOINT PRESENTATION AND
PRESENT IT IN FRONT OF MY
FRIENDS AND FACULTIES. I WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO THANK SOME OF MY
FRIENDS IN HELPING ME MAKE
THIS PRESENTATION.

Goal line technology
Goal-line technology is a method used to
determine when the ball has slightly crossed
the goal line with the assistance of electronic
devices and at the same time assisting the
referee in awarding a goal or not.
It’s Inclusion
Questions arised to include it in the game
during 2000
Referee gave wrong decision for the
penalty shootout
Match was played between Nigeria and
Cameroon
Ball had actually crossed the line but
refree denied it
Nigeria lost the game.
On 5 July 2005 , IFAB officially approved the use of goal
line technology. The two systems approved in principle were
involved in test phase 2:

Goal Ref Hawk Eye

 Electromagnetic
induction
 Ball has special copper
coils in it
 Notifies ref within 1
second via watch
6 Cameras focused on
each net
 Predicts where ball will
go
 Notifies ref within 1
second via watch

Technology Estimated cost per

stadium
Goal Ref $ 250000
Hawk Eye $ 325000
 It’s objective
To support the role of referees
Not to replace referee’s role
To provide clear decision
Help referee in making final
decision
FIFA REQUIREMENTS
-Only used in goal situations
-Must be accurate
-Referee notified of the goal within one
second
-Indication of goal only committed to
Referee
Advantages of GLT
= More Accurate Calls
= Modernize Sport
=Reduces Human error factor
=Referees can overrule the
technology
Goal line technology in World Cup
2014
-This time the game between France and
Honduras in group stage was decided by
the goal line technology.
-France beat Honduras by 3-0 in which one
of the goal was decided by GLT.
-The goal was scored by Karem Benzema
-The game was quiet controversial.
DISADVANTAGES OF GLT

Technology is not 100% accurate.

Its installation is very costly.
It ruins the heart and soul of the game.
Some older fans are more reluctant to
trust technology in making those kind of
goal decisions.
Brazuca
-Official ball of Fifa 2014 world cup
-Made by Adidas Scientific Research
centre
-Made from polyurethane
-Improved grip, touch, stability and
aerodynamics on the pitch
- Increases the speed of the game
Science in making Brazuca
Has six polyurethane panels
All are bonded to keep the ball of same
weight and roundness
Even in the heaviest of rain it retain its
roundness
Provides faster flight speed
Maintains true roundness
Description

- Bladder of brazuca ball is made of latex

- Provides the desired rebound
- Highly textured
- Feels like adidas’finale used in 2013
UEFA
- Available in bold white, night
blue,multicolor
- Most colourful ball ever
Stats: Weighs 437 grams and has a low absorption rate, meaning
it can retain shape and weight even in rain.
 Vanishing Foam
-Vanishing foam is a new technology used in football.
-Foam is applied as a line during free kicks and

Penalty shootouts
-Helps referee in checking the player if he crosses the
marked distance
ADVANTAGES
Prevents unnecessary delay
Prevent unnecessary delays by preventing
the defensive team from encroaching
closer
Prevents the attacking team from illegally
moving the ball from the spot
