Trackchamp, a joint venture between bwin.party digital entertainment and Chyronhego, has become the official Northern Ireland Football League streaming and data partner.
Cameras are set to be situated at every Northern Ireland Football League venue , in order to provide real-time streaming video with graphics and collect performance data. Such data will include player speed and distance covered, ball speed, the percentage of possession of each team, and many other statistics. As well as allowing fans from overseas the opportunity to watch their side in action, coaches will reap the benefits of the performance stats.
Linfield FC boss Warren Feeney said: “I’ve used this before and seen it in England. The way our game is it needs to be done.
“We may not go deep into things because of the resources and knowledge available but I did my homework against AIK Solna and it’s amazing how much detail is uncovered.
“It’s like the 0.1 per cent that can make the difference in a Formula One car. It’s vital information you need to improve performance.”
