Schematic structure of the GoalControl system

GoalControl is a computer-aided, camera-based system for tracking the ball in football . GoalControl was developed by GoalControl GmbH at that time in Würselen and later in Eschweiler in the Aachen city region. Today the company is based in Aachen , North Rhine-Westphalia .

The system was licensed by FIFA as goal-line technology in March 2013 . GoalControl-4D uses seven cameras attached to the stadium roof per goal and, according to the manufacturer, works with every ball and every goal. The cameras are high-speed cameras that produce 500 images per second. The data runs over a fiber optic cable to a computer, which calculates the position of the ball to within 5 millimeters. A combination of GoalControl (for location) and GoalRef (for display) was selected by FIFA for testing at the 2013 Confederations Cup .

GoalControl-4D was used at the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco. The GoalControl Replay system was also used (for the display). It was used to create animations of controversial goal scenes and to show them to stadium visitors on large display boards and to TV viewers on the screen. These animations made it clear whether a ball had actually fully crossed the goal line, a necessary condition for a correct goal.

In Germany, the Tivoli , the home ground of Alemannia Aachen , has been the first stadium with a FIFA-certified goal-line technology installation since April 14, 2014. The system can also be viewed and demonstrated here.

GoalControl was first used in 2014 in Brazil at a World Cup .

In the group game between France and Honduras , GoalControl was used for the first time in a World Cup match after a shot by Karim Benzema and a subsequent own goal by Noel Valladares to recognize a goal and determine the goal scorer .

GoalControl has been used in all 20 stadiums of the French first division, Ligue 1 , since the 2015/2016 season . The contract runs until 2019.

At the beginning of the 2017/18 football season, the former football player Simon Rolfes and his business partner Markus Elsässer took over the management of GoalControl GmbH.

The system for recognizing a goal is now also used in the French league cup in addition to the Portuguese one .
