During a recent meeting of football's lawmakers in Belfast, the video technology trials during competitive matches has been delayed for at least 12 months.
The Dutch FA (KNVB) had wanted to extend its trial of having a video official in the stadium watching replays and advising the referee on key decisions via a headset, and even the FA chairman, Greg Dyke, had been keen to push forward the trials.
However, other International Football Association Board (IFAB) delegates referred the idea back for further discussions, the BBC reported.
FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke said that it's a question of making the biggest decision ever in the way football is played.
FAB, which consists of four British associations and four from world governing body FIFA, is football's ultimate rule-making body and can put any proposed changes to the game into the sport's statute. It took the groundbreaking decision in 2012 to allow goalline technology.
The Dutch FA is leading the way with the video replay experiment, and had sought approval to roll out the trial into the Dutch Cup next season, the report added.
