A trial of the use of video assistant referees for "game-changing decisions" in football will begin no later than the 2017-18 season.
The news was confirmed following a meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in Cardiff.
Technology would only be applied to key incidents concerning goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties.
IFAB says it has had interest in hosting live trials from 12 national associations and one confederation.
In addition to the video technology trials, IFAB has also decided to end the 'triple punishment rule'.
It means in instances where the referee feels defenders have made a legitimate attempt to make a tackle inside the penalty area, they will not be sent off if they commit a foul. A penalty and, possible goal against their team, is deemed sufficient punishment.
This would not apply when the offence is holding, pushing or pulling, the defender does not attempt to play the ball or the offence would be worthy of a red card if it had been committed elsewhere in the penalty area.
