Voon Sports Signs Leeds United as First Partner in English Premier League

By Joe Lemire 12.12.2022

Voon Sports, a tech company whose devices help soccer players train technical skills, has signed Leeds United as its first partner in the English Premier League.

Founded as Futboltek before its summer rebrand, Voon Sports makes sensor-laden panels that detect ball impact. The stand-up panels flash colors to signal what action the player should take next, and then they collect data on such metrics as reaction time, precision and power. This information can be used to follow progress and develop individualized training plans.

LaLiga club Real Sociedad has been a development partner since 2019. Among its other listed adopters are the Swiss Football School and Marc Cucurella, a Spanish national team player who starts for Chelsea, through his camps. Leeds United is Voon Sports’ first client in any of the top-tier international leagues.
