Last updated : 31 July 2014 By Covsupport News Service

The Football League is to trial the use of Vanishing Spray, as used by match officials at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, in this season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy

Football League Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey, said: "Having seen it used in the recent World Cup, the introduction of Vanishing Spray into the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, will give us the opportunity to observe its use in domestic football so that we can better understand its effect on the flow of the game. It will also give us the ability to gauge the opinions of players, managers, referees and fans."

The League has said it will not be using Vanishing Spray in any matches played in the Football League or Capital Cup  during 2014/15, but will consider its introduction at the end of the current campaign.
