Leading global sports video technology platform PlaySight have announced a new partnership with LIGR, who are a main provider of cloud broadcast graphics for sports leagues and broadcasters at all levels.

PlaySight’s live and on demand automated sports OTT platform will seamlessly integrate with LIGR’s best in-class live graphics software, ensuring a pro-level viewing experiencing for fans of sports leagues, teams and organisations from around the world.

LIGR’s technology streamlines in-game production costs and enables teams to integrate sponsors, generate reports and build their brand through the enhancement of their live and on demand video.

With this new partnership, LIGR is building a white label and customised solution for PlaySight and the thousands of sports courts, fields, rinks and facilities that its technology connects all across the sports world.

The two companies first reached an agreement back in 2019 in Belgium with the EuroMillions Basketball League, and have been working together across the sporting world ever since. This latest announcement is the culmination of years of work behind the scenes and will result in an easy-to-use interface for clients of both companies.

“We are thrilled today to officially announce our partnership and technology integration with PlaySight,” Luke McCoy, LIGR’s Co-Founder and CEO Luke McCoy said.

“Their live streaming and video platform is among the best in sports, and from listening to clients we know that there is a real need for the combined offering that we will be putting together with them.

“PlaySight’s platform has been proven out across the top sports all over the world, and we look forward to taking their video to the next level with our live sports broadcast graphics platform, and specifically a white label solution to create a one-stop shop for their clients across the sporting world.”

The integration will give clients of PlaySight a single workflow for all of their live broadcast needs, with specific graphics for each sport, and customisation options for brand enhancement, sponsor integration, new monetization opportunities and much more.

“Luke and the team at LIGR are the leaders in the automated live sports graphics market, and we cannot wait to bring this new technology platform to our customers,” PlaySight Co-Founder and CEO Chen Shachar said.

“While the core technologies may differ, we share a vision with the team at LIGR – to bring pro-level and sophisticated technology to all levels of sports, all over the world. The need from our customers, whether it is a league, college athletic department, high school team or high-performance academy is all the same: to find new, creative and exciting ways to engage with their communities and fans through live and on demand video content.”

“Our partnership with Restore Function Physiotherapy is a key step in continuing to raise the standard of FQ Academy and State Team programs,” Cavallucci said via press release.

Who are the Key Speakers at the 2026 FV Club Administrator Conference?

Football Victoria (FV) has confirmed the expert lineup for the 2026 Club Administrator Conference, set to take place at The Home of The Matildas on Saturday, 7 February.

While the annual forum remains a staple of the pre-season calendar, the 2026 edition arrives against a backdrop of increasing administrative complexity for the state’s grassroots ecosystem. Consequently, this year’s schedule moves beyond standard networking to prioritise specific subject matter experts who address three distinct pressure points: digital transition, infrastructure investment, and operational risk management.

Digital and Infrastructure Strategy

For club administrators, the immediate operational focus remains the integration of the new Dribl platform. However, FV’s Head of Government Relations & Strategy, Lachlan Cole, drives the broader strategic conversation.

Cole dissects the Facilities Strategy 2025-2035 during the “Level The Playing Field” session. Crucially, a bipartisan panel featuring Parliamentary Friends of Football Co-Conveners Anthony Cianflone MP and John Pesutto MP joins him. With the 2026 state election looming, their involvement offers clubs a rare mechanism to understand how to leverage political support for infrastructure funding.

Risk and Compliance

The burden of compliance on volunteers remains a central theme. Tom Dixon, National Manager at Play by the Rules, confronts the tightening regulatory environment regarding member protection. Dixon delivers a technical breakdown on complaints management, specifically targeting the tangible liability risks that volunteer boards face.

Moreover, Outside the Locker Room CEO Todd Morgan turns the lens toward the psychosocial environment. Morgan presents frameworks for managing mental well-being, equipping administrators with the tools to navigate high-pressure sporting contexts.

Further strengthening the governance focus, FV Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Project Manager Sophie Byrnes outlines the organisation’s new DEI Framework. Her session examines how clubs embed these standards into core business operations rather than treating them as peripheral activities. This structural approach finds a complement in Tarik Bayrakli. Bringing seven years of development experience, Bayrakli presents the ‘A.W.E.S.O.M.E.’ framework, a systematic methodology designed to help committees move beyond simple punitive measures and address club culture at the source.

Ultimately, this speaker lineup represents a shift from general club development to specific technical upskilling, reflecting the professionalisation required of modern volunteer committees.
