The Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and GSIC member ReSpo.Vision have reached an agreement to gather tracking data for their national teams. This enables the KNVB to track performance of their players and further build on broadening their analytics environment.
Under the agreement, ReSpo.Vision will provide KNVB with tracking data and raw player movement metrics. This data will then be used by coaches and analysts across the KNVB to bring even more tactical and performance insights to every level of the federation.
Steijn Spreij, Manager Performance Analytics & Technology from KNVB:
"We’re excited about the possibilities that ReSpo.Vision brings to further enhance advanced analytics for our teams. After all, these are the stars of tomorrow that we as KNVB wish to develop in the most professional way."
Pawel Osterreicher, CEO of ReSpo.Vision, said:
“This cooperation perfectly encapsulates the power of ReSpo.Vision’s computer vision technology, and how we believe it will drive change by democratizing access to data at every level of the football pyramid. The Dutch football team is one of the most celebrated in the history of the game, and now we are helping to ensure that, across their youth teams, the next generation have access to elite, data-driven insights.”
ReSpo.Vision’s technology uses cutting-edge computer vision and deep learning to automatically capture the 3D positions of players and the ball with centimeter-level accuracy. This data can then be used to generate insights into fitness metrics, pressing and defensive intensity, team shapes and formations, and more.
ReSpo.Vision's technology can capture all this information from a single broadcast camera, negating the need for teams to use expensive wearables or multi-camera set ups to access elite level data, insights, and analysis. The company recently completed a €4.2 million funding round and is FIFA Basic certified for data quality. ReSpo.Vision’s other clients include CONCACAF, CONMEBOL Copa America, and a stable of clubs and national associations from around the world.
ReSpo.Vision is one of the startups who will present their solutions at the GSIC Summit Valencia. Register here
