With full-scope camera angles, Spiideo is a revolutionary way to dissect every moment of training or a game.
With cameras installed in a club’s stadium, they’ll be no need to set up for recording ever again. The handy app provided by Spiideo not only offers convenience, but supreme quality with 4k resolution.
The benefit of having the recording in 4k definition is the ability to utilise its depth in pixels by being able to zoom in and roam around the whole pitch as the cameras offer the full spectrum. Coaches can pick and choose where they want to complete analysis.
It extends further by having every angle covered, whether it be behind the goals, from the air looking down or the typical side-on level. Every moment will be able to be captured and is viewable on all devices with easy-to-use controls.
As the training or game vision is played back, teams can come together and take notes as they go to improve performance. Analytics tools featured in the app include GPS tracking and player or team tracking or individual players or getting the right structure in positioning.
For clubs looking to take themselves to the next level, Spiideo is a product that would be heavily considered, as it creates a new way to dissect the game of soccer.
The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) have confirmed a multi-year sponsorship with Amazon, making them the Exclusive Retail Sponsor of the NWSL and an extension of its current media deal.
This is an expansion of the previously announced multi-year rights deal that cemented Prime Video as the exclusive home for 27 NWSL matches each season at amazon.com/nwsl.
As part of the sponsorship, it will name Amazon as an official NWSL licensee. NWSL fans can now shop Amazon Fan Shop for hundreds of officially licensed NWSL products from Merch on Demand, Amazon’s print-on-demand service. Selection includes t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, and more, spanning every NWSL team, across men’s, women’s, and youth styles and sizes.
This Amazon collaboration will also boost the media team at the NWSL with the league migrating match content from previous seasons using Amazon Web Services (AWS). This cloud-based media archive will enable NWSL to easily transfer historical footage and surface highlights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage to enhance fan engagement by building a more personalized connection between fans, the league, and the players they love.
Amazon Prime is also now the presenting partner for the NWSL’s Best XI Awards which recognises the best players by position on a monthly cadence throughout the season. For Prime, this represents an opportunity to bring fans closer to the players they love and joins them in celebrating the excellence of the athletes selected for this honour.
NWSL Chief Marketing & Commercial Officer Julie Haddon discussed the importance of expanding their existing deal with Amazon.
“We could not be more excited to continue to integrate Amazon more deeply into the NWSL family as they become our exclusive retail sponsor,” Haddon mentioned in a press release.
“Amazon’s global reach and customer-centric approach pairs perfectly with the NWSL’s fan-forward ethos. This partnership will not only amplify the NWSL’s fandom and growth but will also offer our fans an easy and accessible way to support their favourite teams and athletes.”
The ultimate goal is to increase the profile of the NWSL and serving customers’ growing interest in merchandise, content, and technical innovation.
The expansion is a fantastic move by the NWSL who are bringing the expertise of several Amazon businesses together in service to the league and its fans as they enter a period of incredible attendance and participation growth.
