Goal-line technology is still on the football agenda, but lawmakers want a system that gives instant decisions.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) met on Wednesday and agreed to re-ignite discussions on one of the most hotly debated topics in the sport.
The issue reared its head during the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals in South Africa, when England's Frank Lampard had a clear goal disallowed.
"The indication of whether a goal has been scored must be immediate and automatically confirmed within one second," an IFAB statement said.
"The technology would apply solely to the goal-line, and only to determine whether a goal has been scored or not."
"The system must be accurate. The indication of whether a goal has been scored will only be communicated to the match officials."
IFAB has asked for submissions from technology companies to help with the process.
FIFA, the game's governing body, had ruled out goal-line technology in 2008 after they decided against using a Hawkeye format (used in tennis and cricket) and claimed that a microchip in the ball would be too complex.
But Lampard's non-goal meant the issue needed to be raised again, with FIFA president Sepp Blatter saying it would be 'nonsense not to re-open the file'.
The IFAB also discussed the addition of an extra assistant referee behind each goal.
The system has been trialled in the Champions League, Europa League and Euro 2012 qualifiers plus several national leagues.
IFAB declared they were happy with the experiment so far and suggested that the system be in place in more domestic leagues.
