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.

Recognition for Innovation

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.

Collaborating with the Best

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.


Validating the Accuracy of Our Technology

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
