Spanish sports product company Yoomedoo is a successful startup that has achieved widespread acclaim across the country for its work with professional clubs and the grassroots football scene.

Utilising technology, Yoomedoo is charged with ambition to democratise sport by providing player across all levels with the tools and information they need to become better, more proficient athletes. Additionally, Yoomeedoo works to supply clubs across the amateur, junior, academy and professional elite level with what they need to perform better than ever.

Powering Yoomeedoo to support clubs and players is their FIFA certified GPS tracker – the Yoomedoo Sports Tracker v3.

The v3 Tracker 

Situated in a skintight vest that fits under a team kit, the v3 is a lightweight and unobtrusive device, weighing only 36 grams. Through this, players can still compete at their best while the device is fully operational, allowing for premium data without compromising performance.

To provide players and clubs with a wide range of playing statistics, the v3 features the following:

  • 10hz geolocation
  • Accelerometer
  • Gyroscope
  • Pedometer
  • Heartrate detection
  • ECG reading

Through these features, the v3 is able to note down how players are efficiently and effectively players are moving around a pitch, as well as their biological readouts – casting a light on their physical fitness and areas where training can improve their future performances.

To receive the data, clubs and coaches can use a simple USB-C cord to download the v3’s information or they can use non-wired methods such as Bluetooth or Zigbee. The v3 features 4.0 and 5.0 Bluetooth low energy compatibility, allowing users to download stored data from a large variety of their own personal devices. Additionally, Bluetooth allows users to set up the tracker’s features without a wired connection.

Catering for a vast number of users, the v3’s Zigbee compatibility allows for users to provide live information to the tracker from up to 200 metres away.

After the data is downloaded, it can be accessed in easy-to-read data boards available on mobile phones and desktop. The boards can then be customised to a coach’s personal liking, streamlining the process of analysis. Furthermore, analysts can manipulate different metrics to suit their needs, increasing the capacity for greater interrogation of results to strengthen future game and training plans.

Fantasy Football 

In a unique move, Yoomedoo not only provides trackers to clubs and players but has also moved into the real-life fantasy football market.

Through the company’s app, players can upload a profile of themselves that details key information about their footballing career. This profile is then uploaded to massive digital network where other players can see and learn about other athletes on the platform.

Profiles are rated and continually adjusted depending on player performance within games, allowing observers to see who the best players in the league are and who upcoming opposition clubs rely upon.

To inspire players to keep performing at their absolute peak, the Yoomedoo app features time-based challenges for players to complete in a race against their peers. Winning challenges can results in players earning impressive digital rewards.

Conclusion 

It is no easy feat to grow and flourish within a competitive sphere, but Yoomedoo have found a way to differentiate themselves while still providing a reliable and consistent product.

Through their work, the Spanish organsiation has been rewarded with a plethora of high-profile partnerships and collaborations, including more than 50 professional clubs. In particular, Yoomedoo has been a hit with Spanish clubs such as Celta Vigo and Mallorca, as well other European names like BSC Young Boys. Additionally, Yoomedoo has found work across Africa and the Middle East through a number of national federations, supproting countries such as Egypt, Qatar, Tunisia, Senegel and more.

How Husqvarna Is Helping Stadiums Cut Costs Without Cutting Quality

At a time when operational costs are rising across global sport, stadiums and football clubs are being forced to rethink one of their most overlooked expenses: turf maintenance.

From diesel consumption to labour hours, maintaining elite playing surfaces has traditionally been both resource-intensive and environmentally taxing. But new data emerging from venues like CBUS Super Stadium suggests a smarter, more sustainable model is already taking hold.

Leading that shift is Husqvarna, whose autonomous turf technology is quietly reshaping how professional venues manage their playing surfaces. Their product delivers measurable cost savings without compromising quality.

Cutting fuel consumption costs

At CBUS Super Stadium, the introduction of Husqvarna’s CEORA™ robotic mowing system has reduced diesel usage by approximately 20–30 litres per week. Over the course of a season, those savings compound into a significant reduction in both fuel spend and carbon emissions. This is particularly efficient for stadiums hosting regular fixtures and large-scale events.

CBUS Super Stadium General Manager Kristian Blundell said the robotic mower was a game-changer for the venue:

“This technology is not replacing staff but rather giving our grounds team the ability to do what they do best by helping to improve turf management processes, better manage fatigue and decrease our environmental footprint”

But the impact goes beyond fuel.

 

Time efficiency

By automating routine mowing, Husqvarna’s technology enables grounds teams to focus on higher-value maintenance tasks, from pitch recovery to detailed surface management. The result is not only greater operational efficiency but also improved turf consistency, which is an increasingly critical factor in elite football performance.

The benefits are being mirrored beyond stadium environments. At Oatlands Golf Club, Husqvarna’s autonomous mowing has delivered savings of up to 60 litres of fuel per week while freeing up staff for precision work. Quiet, round-the-clock operation also ensures surfaces are maintained without disrupting play—an advantage that translates directly to multi-use stadium settings.

Importantly, Husqvarna’s lightweight robotic systems reduce the wear and tear typically caused by traditional heavy machinery. This not only protects the integrity of the playing surface but also reduces the need for costly repairs over time.

Football clubs navigating tight budgets at grassroots and semi-professional levels could benefit from such cost savings.

With rising energy prices, increasing sustainability expectations, and limited staffing resources, the ability to cut costs while improving performance is no longer optional. Solutions like Husqvarna’s CEORA™ are positioning clubs to operate more efficiently today, while preparing for a more environmentally accountable future.

As the sports industry continues to evolve, one thing is becoming clear: the next competitive edge may not just come from what happens on the pitch—but how it’s maintained.

Football NSW announces 2026 First Nations Scholarships as pathway access program enters new phase

Football NSW has announced the recipients of its 2026 First Nations Scholarships, with ten emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players from metropolitan and regional NSW receiving support designed to reduce the financial and structural barriers that have historically limited First Nations participation across the football pathway.

The scholarship program, developed and assessed in collaboration with the Football NSW Indigenous Advisory Group, targets players across both elite and development environments – recognising that talent identification alone is insufficient without the resources to support progression once players are identified.

Co-Chair of the Indigenous Advisory Group Bianca Dufty said the calibre of this year’s recipients reflected the depth of First Nations football talent across the state, and the importance of structured support in converting that talent into long-term participation.

“Their dedication to football and the desire to be role models for younger Aboriginal footballers in their communities is to be celebrated,” Dufty said. “I’m confident we will see some of these talented footballers in the A-League and national teams in the future.”

 

Beyond the pitch and into the pipeline

The 2026 cohort spans both metropolitan clubs and regional associations, an intentional distribution that acknowledges the particular barriers facing First Nations players outside major population centres, where access to development programs, qualified coaching and pathway competitions is more limited and the cost of participation more prohibitive.

The next phase of the program will introduce First Nations coaching scholarships, extending the initiative’s reach beyond playing pathways and into the coaching and administration pipeline – areas where Indigenous representation remains among the lowest in the game.

The structural logic is clear. Scholarships that reduce financial barriers at the entry point of elite pathways matter most when they are part of a sustained ecosystem of support rather than isolated gestures. Football NSW’s collaboration with the Indigenous Advisory Group provides that continuity, ensuring the program is shaped by the communities it is designed to serve.
