Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke has cancelled a visit to today’s (October 20) goal-line technology meeting in Wales to deal with the ongoing corruption crisis.
Valcke was due to attend the International FA Board (IFAB) business meeting at Celtic Manor but it was announced on Tuesday (October 19) that he will send other officials to meet the chief executive of the four British associations who with Fifa make up the game's law-making body.
Valcke will instead be in Zurich where Fifa's ethics committee is due to hear the case of two Fifa executive committee members, Nigeria's Amos Adamu and Tahiti's Reynald Temarii, who it is claimed asked undercover reporters for cash in return for their World Cup votes.
The ethics body is also separately investigating whether at least two countries campaigning to host the 2018 and/or 2022 tournaments breached bidding rules.
It is expected the IFAB meeting will take the first steps towards introducing goal-line technology, possibly by appointing an independent company to test the 13 systems that have put themselves forward to Fifa.
However, no major decisions will be taken until the full IFAB meeting in March 2011.
