Goal-line technology coming to Ligue 1 next season

Football's governing body in France has confirmed that goal-line technology will be used in Ligue 1 next season.

The LFP announced that the feature will be available to officials overseeing top-flight matches from the beginning of the 2015-16 season.

"The LFP board has decided to adopt the goal-line technology in Ligue 1 for the 2015-16 season," the organisation said in a statement.

Goal-line technology was used in the World Cup finals last summer and also features in the Premier League.

Germany's Bundesliga has also adopted it for next term.
