ZURICH (AP) — FIFA says it will use Hawk-Eye to rule on goal-line decisions at the Women's World Cup in Canada.
The British camera-based system to track the ball's position is already used in the Premier League. It was developed in tennis and cricket.
FIFA says Hawk-Eye will first be tested at the six stadiums staging the 24-team women's tournament from June 6-July 5.
Hawk-Eye was previously used by FIFA at the Club World Cup in Japan in 2012. FIFA then chose the rival GoalControl system from Germany for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
