# [Futsal in Italy: OLIVER GPS Technology added a new team](https://blog.oliversports.ai/en/oliver-futsal-in-italy)

The new generation of GPS technology is making its mark in the competitive world of Italian futsal, establishing its presence in the First Division. This step represents a unique opportunity for OLIVER in a market that shows promise for its technology, much like in Spain, where dozens of futsal teams have already adopted this innovative solution.

## A Weighty Ally in Italian Futsal

This new "conquered territory" in [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala)'s history is the result of our collaboration with one of the standout teams in the Serie A Futsal in Italy, Meta Catania C5. In this way, the Sicilian team became the first Italian team to use [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) in their training and matches.

*Meta Catania seeks to enhance their performance and prevent injuries with OLIVER's technology.*

Italy, a market to explore for OLIVER: Football is a passion that unites millions of people, and the four-time world champion country is no exception: football is the most popular sport. With nearly 850,000 players, over 11,000 clubs, and more than 50,000 teams, the country represents an opportunity for [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala)'s sustained growth. These numbers speak of a diverse market, from grassroots football to Serie A, covering both men's and women's football, and ranging from amateur to professional players. Italy is a territory where [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) can make a significant difference, providing access to elite technology to all sectors of Italian football.

## **Meta Catania C5: A Rising Giant**

The club that has chosen to join us on this exciting journey is Meta Catania C5, a team that has proven its worth in the first division of Italian futsal. Under the guidance of their new coach, Juan Ramón Calvo Rodríguez (Juanra), who already had experience with [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) during his time in Hungary, the team is ready to face new challenges.

Meta Catania C5 is more than just a team; it is an institution with a rich history and a base of passionate supporters. [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) is proud to partner with a team that shares our vision of using technology to enhance sports performance.

## **Futsal, one of OLIVER's preferred disciplines**

While [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) is a solution that has gained followers in all sectors of football, with over 120 teams using its devices, futsal was one of the sectors that quickly adopted [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) as its favorite GPS device. You can find more details about the revolution [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) is causing in futsal in [this article from Diario AS.](https://as.com/masdeporte/polideportivo/oliver-un-nuevo-dispositivo-dispuesto-a-cambiar-el-futbol-sala-n/) 

*OLIVER is the GPS Tracker of choice for dozens of Futsal teams in more than 12 countries.*

Why? Basically, for three main reasons:

- Leg placement: **Placing the device in a shin guard sock allows for football-specific metrics,** such as shot power, the number of ball touches based on intensity, distance covered with the ball, and more.
- Adaptability to indoor spaces: Thanks to the ability to do without GPS, this technology can provide accurate and quality data without the need for additional elements like antennas. [OLIVER](https://tryoliver.com/es/gps-futbol-sala) works for both indoor and outdoor spaces, only requiring specification on the platform before downloading the corresponding session.  
   
- Easy use of the platform: Thanks to excellent product development, one of the aspects most highlighted by fitness coaches and trainers is that it is very simple to use, **allowing for clear readings and full utilization of the platform's benefits, without the need to hire a Data Analysis expert.**

*Jimbee Cartagena uses OLIVER to continue making history in the LNFS.*

> ""Thanks to its quality-price ratio, OLIVER is one of the most attractive options for any club."
