RIO DE JANEIRO — UEFA President Michel Platini will introduce goal-line technology at the 2016 European Championship in France, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said Friday. Platini has been a staunch opponent of the system in his seven years as UEFA chief. The system is being used by FIFA at the World Cup for the first time. Platini has made no secret of his opposition to video technology, but Blatter said in an interview on FIFA's website that Platini had changed his mind. “I have spoken to UEFA President Michel Platini who said he will introduce goal-line technology in France in 2016,” said Blatter, once an opponent of the system himself. — Reuters
