GPS technology in football has become an essential tool to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and optimize training planning.
A clear example of this is CF Fuenlabrada, which chose OLIVER PRO for its youth academy teams at El Vivero. After using it for several months in their academy, the club decided to expand the use of this sports monitoring solution to its first team, which currently competes in the Segunda Federación (Spain’s fourth tier).
Innovation in the Academy: The Beginning of the Project
Fuenlabrada began its relationship with OLIVER PRO through its youth teams, convinced that the use of GPS technology in player development could make a real difference in preparing young talents for professional football.
Thanks to the OLIVER PRO sports monitoring platform, the Fuenlabrada staff is able to:
-
Monitor players’ workloads, reducing injury risk through proper training planning.
-
Analyze over 25 key metrics such as total distance, accelerations, sprints, and high-intensity efforts. They can also visualize heat maps for each player, compare sessions to improve tactical decisions, and identify areas for player development.
-
Track each footballer’s progress with personalized reports, providing an objective view of every player’s growth.
This decision allowed the academy to professionalize its structure, giving young players access to the same elite technology used by top international clubs.
From the Academy to the First Team
The positive impact in the youth categories quickly convinced the sporting management: the CF Fuenlabrada first team also needed OLIVER PRO.
Today, the Madrid-based team competing in Segunda Federación uses OLIVER PRO GPS technology in every training session and match — aiming to optimize team performance, improve weekly planning, and prepare with precision for the challenge of earning promotion.
Other Segunda RFEF teams that use OLIVER PRO include Rayo Cantabria, UD Ourense, Tudelano SAD, UE Sant Andreu, UE Olot, Quintanar del Rey, UD Socuéllamos, and UD Conquense, among others.
OLIVER PRO: Versatility and Confidence for the Whole Club
The CF Fuenlabrada case shows how OLIVER PRO adapts to the needs of clubs at every level:
-
In the El Vivero academy, it supports player development with objective data and motivates young talents.
-
In the first team, it provides advanced metrics, automatic reports, and performance analysis that help the technical staff make better decisions.
Its intuitive use, simple implementation, and artificial intelligence applied to sports monitoring make OLIVER PRO a key tool for any club looking to grow sustainably.
A Strategic Partner for Growth
CF Fuenlabrada has found in OLIVER PRO a strategic ally to compete better, train smarter, and prepare its first team for the challenge of climbing back up the divisions.
This success story shows how GPS technology in Spanish football is not only an elite resource, but also an investment that transforms both the present and the future of ambitious clubs.
