The playoff final between Bosnia and Italy for a spot in the 2026 World Cup will be played without the use of Goal-Line Technology. This isn’t the first time this has happened in World Cup or European Championship qualifiers. Not all federations, including Bosnia’s, have stadiums capable of supporting this technology. No watch will beep on referee Turpin’s arm, but in case of doubt, the VAR cameras (mandatory in playoffs) located at the goal lines can be used.
