Champions League to use more officials

Soccer Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Cardiff, Wales (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Champions League will follow the Europa League's lead and have two extra assistant referees for the 2010-11 and 2011-12 campaigns.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has stated that the experiment will allow FIFA to take a decision on its long-term viability in 2012.

A statement from IFAB read: "The Technical Sub-Committee has approved several requests from member associations and confederations to implement the experiment with two additional assistant referees during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons at a meeting held in Cardiff."

Goal line technology will be discussed at the IFAB's next meeting in October in the wake of the controversy that marred Germany's 4-1 victory against England in a round of 16 encounter at the World Cup in South Africa.
