Vanishing spray will be introduced in the Premier League next season following its success at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Referees use the spray to indicate the position of free-kicks and the distance the defensive wall must retreat.
The Premier League had said it did not plan to introduce the spray until it had monitored it in other competitions.
But chief executive Richard Scudamore said the Premier League was "open to developments".
He explained: "It was clear from watching the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil that vanishing spray benefited referees, players, and all of those who watched the matches.
"Following consultation with our clubs and the Professional Game Match Officials Limited [the refereeing body], we have decided to introduce it in the Premier League and look forward to having it in place for the 2014-15 season."
