FIFA Plans to Score with Wearable Tech
Wearable tech in sports is certainly nothing new. We’ve been hearing about it, and athletes have been using it, for a few years now. FIFA has talked about the possibilities, and benefits, of wearable tech in the past and it looks like this upcoming season may see wearable tech implemented in the form of GPS trackers.
FIFA has been vocal about its ideas for the future of wearable tech in soccer, and now its vision is coming to life. Statsports is set to become the official on-field performance monitoring device of US soccer, and in the biggest partnership of its kind, will distribute 6,500 Apex GPS devices to players across the men's, women's, youth, Paralympic and Beach National Teams, Development Academy clubs, and NWSL.
