Brisbane Roar is collaborating with leading Australian water bottle developer AQUAME to provide their squads with high-tech water bottles.
AQUAME is a high-tech water bottle offering UVC sanitation, drink reminders, and real-time tracking, all guided by an AI-enhanced app for optimal hydration.
AQUAME’s AI-enhanced phone application enables users to see statistics regarding their hydration, with historical data and personalised coaching options to help guide users towards informed daily health decisions.
The device has been used and approved by Socceroos legend Archie Thompson and Melbourne City FC forward Andrew Nabbout, with the sports water bottle company moving into the football corporate world after recent growth.
Brisbane Roar CEO Kaz Patafta mentioned the importance the club puts on maximising player performance.
“We are proud to partner with AQUAME and believe these high-tech water bottles will greatly contribute to player wellbeing on and off the pitch. As a club we strive to see players have the best products at their fingertips to perform their best. We look forward to growing this partnership with AQUAME,” Patafta said via media release.
Founder of AQUAME Steve Aidun Xie spoke on the large market that this partnership with the A-League club provides for technology in sport.
“We are thrilled to partner with Brisbane Roar, a significant milestone in revolutionising the role of data in modern sports. In today’s competitive sporting landscape, the understanding and optimisation of athlete hydration remain underexplored. Our collaboration is set to bridge this gap by leveraging cutting-edge technology to collect vital hydration data,” Xie added.
“This partnership is more than just an alliance; it’s a step towards filling a crucial void in sports tech by integrating effective hydration plans into athletes’ routines. The insights gained from working with a professional club like Brisbane Roar are invaluable. They will be instrumental in refining our new hydration analysis software, designed to empower sporting clubs globally,” Xie continued.
“This tool will not only analyse but also illuminate how precise hydration planning can elevate athletes to their peak performance. We are excited to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking development, contributing to enhanced athletic achievements and wellbeing.”
Brisbane Roar have a focus with this partnership to positively impact player performance for both the men’s and women’s sides through high quality technological equipment, with AQUAME specifically focusing on the players receiving acute hydration.
