UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino has ruled out the use of video technology in matches for anything other than goal line decisions, reports Sky Sport. Despite recent high-profile examples of mistaken identity, Infantino told Sky Sports News HQ that further technology to assist officials is not on UEFA's agenda.
"There would be no mistaken identity if you had the additional assistant referees, because they will see immediately what happens and can rectify all decisions," said Infantino. "It is easy to say technology is needed.
"I think what is needed, in any case, is an appropriate debate on this topic.
"What does it mean? What are we speaking about here? Technology is already in football with goal line technology.
"But, for everything else, it's very much a judgement question for the referee - and has to remain with the referee as well in the future.
"Football is the most fantastic sport in the world - there must be a reason for that."
