Women's Euro 2022: Is goal-line technology in operation? VAR Goal Check after Bath Mead of England scored a goal to make it 1-0 during the UEFA Women's Euro England 2022 group A match between England and Austria at Old Trafford on July 6, 2022 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

One question at Women's Euro 2022 is whether goal-line technology is in operation.

VAR is being used at the tournament, just as it was at Euro 2020, the men's edition of the tournament. Goal-line technology is in operation not just in international football but the Premier League. 

At the moment though, the WSL doesn't have goal-line technology. Many of the referees in the league aren't professional.

Is goal-line technology in operation at Women's Euro 2022?

Yes, there is goal-line technology at the Women's Euros. 

Beth Mead's opening goal of the tournament was confirmed by goal-line tech, which buzzed for the referee to give the goal. After a quick VAR check to affirm that the goal had crossed the line, the goal was given. 

Goal-line technology is in place in all games at the tournament.
