Hawkeye secures Premier League contract

The Premier League today announced Hawkeye as its supplier of goal-line technology from the start of next season.

The system is understood to have been recommended as the preferred option to a meeting of the 20 top-flight clubs.

A German system, GoalControl, has also been under consideration after submitting a tender.

Hawkeye's camera-based system will now be in place at Premier League grounds and Wembley Stadium from next season.

Hawkeye, which was sold to technology giant Sony two years ago, already provides systems for tennis and cricket.

The Premier League provided seed money to help Hawkeye develop a goal-line technology system back in 2007, but there is no longer a formal relationship with the company.

League chiefs made their recommendation based on both cost and ease of implementation and use.

Earlier this month FIFA chose GoalControl, which is also a camera-based system, for the Confederations Cup in Brazil in June and next year's World Cup finals.

Two other systems, also German, have also been licensed by FIFA but they both use magnetic sensors rather than cameras.

The head of Spain's La Liga said it would follow suit and bring in goal-line technology in two or three years.

Francisco Roca Perez told the Soccerex conference: "We are truly advocates for technology and we will look at the systems and the cost.

"We are not going to be as quick as the Premier League but we are in favour of the system.

"I expect that in two or three years we will be able to do something like this either with technology that we buy or that we create ourselves."
