The International Association Board and FIFA have decided to modernize football to a whole new level. They have recently approved artificial intelligence sensor technology for data tracking during official matches. The innovative technology was developed by Playermaker in 2019.

The technology gathers information on technical balance, kicking, velocities, speed, distance, acceleration, and time on the ball. The sensors attach to players’ boots and capture the data. It has since become a historical device, the first used in lower-body tracking in modern football, taking it to a new level.
