England's home friendly against Belgium at Wembley next month will be used to test the Hawk-Eye goal-line technology system, world governing body FIFA said on Thursday.
Independent testers from EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology) and representatives from FIFA will monitor the system although it will not be available for use by the match officials on June 2.
The Hawk-Eye system was also tested in a English minor league cup final between Eastleigh and AFC Totton in April.
