Goal-line technology is to be tested at England's international friendly against Belgium at Wembley on 2nd June.
But referee will not have access to the results
Goal-line technology is to be tested at England's international friendly against Belgium at Wembley on 2nd June.
The Hawkeye system will be installed at the national stadium for the match, which will be Roy Hodgson's first home game in charge of England.
All the tests are being monitored by officials from EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology.
But if there are any close calls during the game, the referee will not be informed of the system's results as they are for testing purposes only.
FIFA are currently considering two systems of goal-line technology - Hawkeye and GoalRef - with the final decision expected on 2nd July.
No influence
FIFA said in a statement: "Such tests could lead to the International Football Association Board (IFAB) approving the introduction of GLT at its special meeting at the beginning of July.
"Only the EMPA observers, IFAB and FIFA representatives at Wembley will have access to the GLT system readings.
"Therefore, should a goal-line incident occur at this or any of the 'test' matches, the system will not be utilised by the match officials.
"It means the GLT system will have no influence on the outcome of the matches in which the system is being tested.
"FIFA would like to place on record its sincere thanks to the Football Association for their willingness to support the live match tests, a critical part of Test Phase 2 for goal-line technology."
