LEIPZIG, Germany, Dec 5 (Reuters) - FIFA has ruled out using "smartball" technology at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, saying the system needs more testing to prove its reliability.

adidas smart ball"We consider the technology is not yet ready," FIFA general secretary Urs Linsi said on Monday.

The ball, developed by Adidas with Germany's Cairos AG and the German Fraunhofer Institute, is designed to rule out mistakes on goal-line decisions and was tested at the World Under-17 Championship in Peru.

It had been due for further live testing at the World Club Championship in Japan this month but FIFA said on Monday it would not be used at the tournament.

"The logical consequence of this is that we will not used in Germany in 2006," Linsi said.

Thomas van Schaik, Adidas spokesman, said: "We knew of this decision in advance of course, so we are not surprised, nor are we disappointed.

"The tracking system can be applied to any ball that we manufacture so it has not affected the development or production of the ball to be used at the World Cup finals which we believe will be the best ball ever used in the tournament.

"We are still developing the tracking system and when we are convinced it is 100 percent bullet-proof, 100 percent perfect, then that will be the time for it to be used."

The official tournament ball will be unveiled during the draw ceremony on Friday evening.

The Adidas smart ball made its debut in Lima at the FIFA Under-17 world championship in September.
