We are thrilled to announce that OLIVER Sports has been selected to be part of the upcoming cohort of the FIFA Innovation Program! This achievement marks another milestone in our mission to democratise sports data performance through cutting-edge technology.
The FIFA Innovation Program aims to identify and support innovative technologies with the potential to add unique value to the world of football. Being selected for this program means that OLIVER Sports' technology will be rigorously monitored and validated by FIFA's team of experts in data, analytics, and performance.
Tests are used to rigorously measure all values and data.
OLIVER Sports, which already supports over 180 teams in approximately 45 countries, is collaborating with FIFA and Victoria University to research new athletic and football metrics. These metrics are only possible due to the strategic placement of the OLIVER PRO device on the player's leg.
"After 5 years of developing sports science and publishing papers in prestigious journals, we are honoured to be part of the FIFA Innovation Program."
José Gonzalez Ruzo, CEO of OLIVER Sports.
Within the framework of the program, data accuracy validation tests are conducted. The latest test was performed in Leira, Portugal, using the most advanced international technology. The setup included 40 state-of-the-art VICON cameras that captured the players' movements with highly detailed precision within a 30 x 30 meter area.
"This opportunity not only validates the hard work and dedication of our scientific and development team but also propels us to the forefront of innovation in sports technology. We look forward to working closely with FIFA to enhance the performance and experience of football players worldwide."
Ezequiel Torti, co-founder and CTO of OLIVER Sports
OLIVER PRO is designed to provide comprehensive performance analysis, helping teams optimize training, prevent injuries, and reach their full potential. This collaboration with FIFA will further refine the technology and ensure it meets the highest standards of excellence, with a focus on continuing to democratize access to elite technology for all players worldwide.
We are excited to continue this journey with FIFA and contribute to the future of football!
