Through this cooperation, the club and its young players will rely on zone14's innovative analysis tools to make their match preparation and tactical alignment even more efficient.
‘We are extremely pleased to have gained SK Rapid as a partner,’ says Lukas Grömer,, Co-Founder at zone14 "My very first jersey was from Rapid. That's why it's also something special for me personally. The club is one of the figureheads of Austrian football beyond the country's borders. With our technology, we can help the club and young players gain deeper insights that enable targeted improvements."
"I'm delighted that zone14 is equipping our training pitches in Hütteldorf and Vienna's second district with innovative camera systems. This is an important step and helps us to make our video analyses even more efficient. On behalf of SK Rapid, I would therefore like to thank you for the cooperation and am already looking forward to the first use of this technology,’ says SK Rapid CEO Steffen Hofmann about the partnership.
As part of the partnership, SK Rapid will also be using a new, state-of-the-art camera. This camera captures the pitch in the highest resolution and enables detailed recordings of match scenes, perfect for live streams. But it's not just Rapid fans who will benefit from the latest technology. Every club that has a live subscription or takes out one in the future will receive the new, fully equipped zone14 TWO.
The cooperation enables SK Rapid's coaching and analysis staff to access essential match information more quickly and work more time-efficiently thanks to artificial intelligence. zone14 offers an intuitive platform that enables detailed analyses of key areas of the game and helps to incorporate performance-relevant data into training work in a targeted manner.
The aim of zone14 is to provide clubs of all sizes with powerful tools to take match analysis to a new level. The partnership not only strengthens the company's presence in Austrian football, but also emphasises its role as an innovator in the field of data-based football analysis.
