World Cup soccer players should be happy: A new chip-enabled soccer ball won't be ready for use at the World Cup soccer tournament in Germany this June, according to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
The world soccer body also took a pass on using the ball at the FIFA Club World Championship games in Tokyo this past December. "The technology isn't perfect yet," says Jan Runau, a spokesman with sportswear manufacturer Adidas-Salomon AG, which supplies the official game balls for the tournaments. "We have to be 1,000 percent certain that it works perfectly before we can deploy it in professional soccer games." He declined to say when that would be.
