FIFA signs player tracking deal with Kinexon

FIFA and technology provider Kinexon announced a first-of-its-kind live player tracking collaboration to offer insights on health and development, and also how the sport is presented to fans around the world. The FIFA Preferred Provider initiative was launched to drive the development of ElectroniPerformance and Tracking Systems (EPTS) in football. To this point, Kinexon has worked with more than 400 clubs, leagues, and events worldwide to improve player and team performance, reduce injuries, accelerate return-to-play, and empower fans with previously inaccessible information. 

FIFA and KINEXON’s collaboration was announced at a virtual event, with a crowd of 300 in attendance, including Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann and Dutch women's international Dominique Janssen (Kinexon).
