La Liga will continue to avoid implementing goal-line technology because it is too expensive, president Javier Tebas has said.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has ruled out implementing goal-line technology for next season, claiming it is too expensive.

The system has been used successfully in the Premier League since the start of the 2013-14 campaign and was introduced in the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 for the first time last year.

Technology was also used throughout the Champions League and Europa League tournaments during the past season and has been approved for the Euro 2016 finals in France, which begin this week.
