New artificial intelligence (AI) technology for football boots has been approved by FIFA for use in official matches, making it the first lower-limb tracking device to be worn in football games.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Playermaker launched a new AI tracker which straps to the boots of football players to track technical and physical performance data.<\/p>\n

The data ranges from time on the ball, technical balance, kicking velocities, speed, distance, acceleration and change of directions.<\/p>\n

This enables players and coaches to track unique skills during training sessions and matches, at a cost-efficient, simplified experience, with the aims of taking the monitoring of performance data to the next level.<\/p>\n

The technology has also been given the approval by football lawmakers IFAB (International Football Association Board).<\/p>\n

Playermaker has partnerships with over 200 professional football clubs, including Premier League sides Manchester City and Fulham, alongside Champions League participants Benfica.<\/p>\n
