BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's football association (DFB) and the Bundesliga (DFL) will officially bid to be among the first countries to test video replay technology if the sports lawmakers approve a trial period next month, they said on Thursday.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), which governs the rules of the sport, is to vote on the issue of trials on March 5.
