Goal-Line Technology - Bundesliga joins the band , gear up for 2015/16 season

Goalline technology will be used in the German Bundesliga from next season.

The 18 top flight clubs turned it down last year but have now voted 15-3 in favour of the technology following a proposal by Bayern Munich.

The league will adopt the Hawk-Eye system which has been used in the Premier League since 2013-14.

"I believe that this is a step forward for German football," said Reinhard Rauball, president of the German Football League.

Mainz 05 president Harald Strutz added: "The clubs have recognised that we can no longer ignore this technology development." - BBC
