<h2>The Brief</h2>
As France&#8217;s premier football authority, the <a href="https://www.lfp.fr/">Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP)</a> recognised the need to revolutionise their approach to data capture, analysis, and fan engagement across Ligue 1 McDonald&#8217;s and Ligue 2 BKT.  
They wanted to implement cutting-edge technology that would consolidate their tracking, event and performance data, as well as elevating every aspect of their competitions.

Deploy comprehensive tracking technology across all venues in both leagues 

Enhance coaching capabilities through AI-driven performance insights 

Transform the fan viewing experience with innovative broadcast technologies 

Establish a foundation for next-generation media services 

<h2>The Challenge</h2>
Traditional football data collection methods often provide limited, retrospective insights that fail to capture the full complexity of modern football.  
Many leagues struggle with fragmented data systems that don&#8217;t capture, analyse and distribute data effectively, resulting in missed opportunities for tactical innovation and fan engagement. 
The LFP needed a unified solution that could deliver real-time, comprehensive data analysis while simultaneously enhancing the spectator experience.

By integrating tracking data capture with immediate AI processing, the platform transforms raw match footage into actionable intelligence that benefits coaches, players, broadcasters, and fans simultaneously.

<h2>The Result</h2>
The implementation has established the LFP as a leader in football technology innovation, creating multiple value streams across the organisation.  
Starting with one match per matchweek, the LFP Data Zone &#8211; launched in partnership with DAZN &#8211; represents a groundbreaking approach to sports broadcasting in France, offering fans unprecedented access to real-time performance metrics including passing accuracy, player speeds, off-ball movement, and instant shot analysis.
