( CNN ) -- It was the scene for one of the most famous controversies in soccer history . Did England striker Geoff Hurst 's shot during the 1966 World Cup final at Wembley cross the line ? The Russian who was running the line that day thought so and his decision helped England to a 4-2 win over West Germany -- their only major tournament success to date . Forty-six years later , the same London stadium will provide the setting for a major test of pioneering goal-line technology ( GLT ) , that could revolutionize the game of football forever . British firm `` Hawk-eye '' employ a series of cameras mounted inside the goal frame and their approach will be tested during England 's Euro 2012 warm-up match with Belgium , though none of the information will be available to the match officials . Goal-line technology enters final testing . Scientists and FIFA officials will analyze the results and if they prove successful , the technology could be ratified at a meeting of the International Football Association Board ( IFAB ) in early July . The experiment in front of an estimated crowd of 90,000 at Wembley follows the first Hawk-eye trial at a non-league English cup match earlier this month . An alternative system , designed by German company `` GoalRef '' is also in the final stages of testing . It is somewhat ironic the technology is to be examined during an England match as the team were on the wrong end of a refereeing decision at the 2010 World Cup . Frank Lampard 's shot was disallowed during a second round match with Germany despite replays showing the ball was a full yard over the goal-line . That incident in South Africa prompted FIFA to overturn their long-held stance on goal-line technology and begin trials . A statement on FIFA 's website said : `` Only the EMPA observers , IFAB and FIFA representatives at Wembley will have access to the GLT system readings . `` Therefore , should a goal-line incident occur at this or any of the 'test ' matches , the system will not be utilized by the match officials . It means the GLT system will have no influence on the outcome of the matches in which the system is being tested . `` Such tests , along with those being conducted for the GoalRef system in Denmark , could lead to the International Football Association Board approving the introduction of GLT at its special meeting at the beginning of July . '' There have been several contentious incidents in the last English season that has renewed calls for the technology to be introduced . Chelsea were awarded a goal in an FA Cup semifinal against Tottenham at Wembley that was shown not to have crossed the line , while Queens Park Rangers defender Clint Hill 's header against Bolton was n't given despite being well over the line . English Premier League chairman Richard Scudamore has said he is keen to introduce the technology next season if it is rubber-stamped by FIFA . FIFA have also confirmed that referees are to be drug tested to check they are not taking performance enhancing substances . At a meeting of the world governing body 's executive committee , chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak said match officials should be subject to the same tests as players . `` We have to consider referees as part of the game , '' he was quoted as saying by the UK Press Association . `` We have started to discuss this and this is something for the future which will be discussed to include possibly an anti-doping program for referees . `` We do not have an indication that this is a problem but this is something we have to look at . The referees are a neglected population . ''
