CBF aims to bring goal-line technology to the Brasileirão | OneFootball

English, Italian, German, and French championships already use the technology that identifies difficult goals

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) wants to introduce goal-line technology in Brazilian football. The subject was mentioned this Tuesday (27) during an event for the Refereeing Professionalization Program.

The system is used to resolve doubts in plays where it is unclear whether the ball has crossed the goal line. The mechanism uses every possible angle from inside the goalposts. This way, the referee is notified whether or not a goal has been scored.

How does CBF’s technology affect Flamengo?

Introducing the device into national football means using it in the Copa do Brasil and in the Brasileirão, where Flamengo is the current champion. However, this is not the first time the Most Beloved has come into contact with this type of innovation.

That’s because, during the Club World Cup in December 2025, a goal by Arrascaeta was validated through the system. The Cruz Azul (MEX) defender thought he had cleared the ball off the line, but the cameras caught the goal and notified the referee.

When will the CBF put the idea into practice?

The proposal presented by the governing body is still in its early stages. Therefore, there is no set date for implementation. The CBF, however, also mentioned attaching cameras to referees’ bodies on the field, which is also already used in Europe.
