Youth Football, One of OLIVER’s Pillars

More and more clubs, academies, and youth tournaments are using OLIVER to measure the metrics of their players. The low cost, easy usability, and interactive interface are the reasons why clubs choose OLIVER.


Ska Brasil was one of the first teams to incorporate OLIVER in their youth categories. Year after year, they continue to invest in digitizing their academy.

Furthermore, gamification is yet another key aspect of OLIVER that helps position the new generation of GPS technology as the ideal solution for youth football. Nowadays, there is increasing recognition of the importance of making the learning process a fun experience and accompanying academy training with playful and interactive tools that contribute to the holistic development of its players.

"For me, football is much more than just a sport. It is a highly transformative tool for social inclusion that changes lives, generates employment, and fulfills the dreams of entire families"
José Edmilson, former FC Barcelona player and current president of SKA Brasil, the team that uses OLIVER in their youth academy
