FIFA確定引入錄像回放技術 最晚於年開始試行

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), which governs the rules of the game, has approved testing of video technology to aid match officials, it was announced on Saturday.

上週六，掌管足球比賽規則的國際足球協會理事會宣佈，已批准試行錄像回放技術，以輔助賽事官員。

Experiments will be carried out over a two-year period starting no later than the 2017/18 season before a final decision is taken on whether to adopt the technology permanently.

錄像回放技術最晚於2017/18賽季開始試行，爲期2年，之後國際足協理事會將最終決定是否永久採用該技術。

FIFA described it as a "landmark decision" but said the experiments would allow IFAB "to identify the advantages, disadvantages and worst-case scenarios".

國際足聯將其描述爲一個“里程碑式的決定”，但是也表示，這項技術將會讓國際足球協會理事會“權衡利弊和最糟糕的情況。”

The trials will allow referees to call on video assistance to help determine four categories of game-changing moments -- goals scored, red cards, penalties and mistaken identity.

在測試階段，裁判可以請求使用錄像輔助，協助判斷4種改變比賽格局的時刻，即進球、紅牌、點球、認錯球員。

"We have taken really a historic decision for football," said new FIFA president Gianni Infantino at a press conference in the Welsh capital Cardiff. "FIFA and IFAB are now leading the debate and not stopping the debate. Of course we have to be cautious but we are also open to taking concrete measures."

國際足聯新任主席吉安尼·因凡蒂諾在威爾士首府加迪夫城的一場新聞發佈會上說道：“我們已經爲足球運動做了很多歷史性的決定。國際足聯和國際足球協會理事會正在進行討論，且討論不會終止。我們當然會非常謹慎，但使我們也對採取精確的措施持開放的態度。”
