Brera Ilch captain, Matteo Ortolani, named an Ambassador for Soccerment, a company focused on enhancing player development, scouting, and match analysis with advanced AI models
DUBLIN and MILAN and ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia, June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brera Holdings PLC ("Brera Holdings," “Brera” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BREA) is committed to investing in cutting-edge sports technology, including in artificial intelligence (“AI”), to complement its growing portfolio of sports teams, and their impact on the media and entertainment industries. The captain of Brera Holdings’ Mongolian club Brera Ilch, Matteo Ortolani, was recently nominated as an Ambassador for Soccerment, an Italian company specializing in football data intelligence. Soccerment is focused on enhancing player development, scouting, and match analysis with advanced AI models that integrate proprietary and third-party data, providing users and teams with a competitive edge.
Brera’s Ortolani uses and endorses Soccerment’s XSEED device, a user-friendly wearable that provides comprehensive and detailed data on football performance. The XSEED product is a technology-enabled, sophisticated shin guard that is comfortable to wear and captures technical and athletic statistics at scale, powered by artificial intelligence to provide advanced insights, such as sprint speeds, distance covered, shot power, and pass analysis. The AI-powered Virtual Coach also provide players with feedback and personalized training recommendations, which allows them to develop and improve.
“I personally find the product highly efficient and professional: it is beautifully presented, and great attention has been paid to every detail. Specifically, the shin guards use sensors and a cutting-edge application to provide me with an extremely detailed analysis about my training sessions and, most importantly, my matches: goals, assists, speed in kilometers, changes of direction, percentage of right or left foot usage, etc. But the feature that impressed me the most is the application mode that provides the player’s dangerousness in a specific area of the pitch based on his role and the heat map,” said Ortolani.
As a growing force in multi-club ownership and the sports investment world, Brera Holdings recognizes the importance of data and analytics in football and is committed to investing in the space. Brera will continue to analyze opportunities for both adoption and investment in sports technology.
