Bologna and Kama Sport together for the future of football
Bologna Fc 1909 joins forces with Kama Sport, a leading software development and data science company, to create an even more efficient and successful football experience.
Technology at the service of football. Modern football is experiencing an era of growth and development thanks to the increasing emphasis on data, software and technological innovation. The day-to-day management of a football club requires the use of multiple software packages that, however, are often not interoperable with each other. Kama Sport has developed an innovative solution that integrates all functionalities and data into a single platform, thereby optimising the efficiency and quality of the work of each department, from the first team to the youth sector.
The Club’s goal is to centralise all information, which is currently collected in different software, computers, hard disks, cloud solutions and spreadsheets, within their own dedicated area on the proprietary platform developed by Kama. This will speed up, integrate and enhance the daily work of all the Club’s departments. Once all the data – from the youth sector, first team and scouting – is integrated, Kama Sport will be ready to implement its knowledge and technology in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, following the Club’s guidelines, in order to maintain a constant level of growth in innovation and enhance the Club’s identity and playing principles.
The first team at the heart of innovation. The Kama platform integrates all major training analysis technologies, such as GPS, heart rate monitors, cameras and drones. Data and videos are automatically organised on a single page, making access from the coach to the players faster and more user-friendly. Customisation of the data visualisation allows you to choose your favourite graphs, indicators or graphical interfaces. In addition, Kama’s data science department is available to support the coaching staff in specific scientific studies as required.
Match analysis of the highest quality. Kama’s match analysis module offers high quality data and depth, integrating data from Instat, Opta, tactical cameras and tracking data. This tool allows you to extrapolate video clips and data reports with a single click.
360-degree scouting. The scouting area of Bologna Fc 1909 now has at its disposal an advanced module that allows the performance of target players to be analysed at 360 degrees. The constantly updated database and the data reading and analysis tools thus allow the staff to explore player profiles according to their own strategies, technical, tactical and athletic needs, with the result of being able to quickly map, in depth, hundreds of thousands of players all over the world.
Bologna Fc 1909 and Kama Sport join forces to further enhance the prestige and professionalism of Italian football through digital transition and cutting-edge technology.
Claudio Fenucci, CEO of Bologna Fc 1909 said: “The collaboration with Kama Sport allows us to integrate the different functionalities and data into a single platform, thus optimising the efficiency and quality of the work of every department of the club, from the first team, to the scouting team to the youth sector. With the help of cutting-edge technology, we are ready to maintain a constant level of growth in innovation, enhance scouting capabilities and performance analysis”.
Rabii Jendoubi, Head of Global Sales Kama Sport commented: “Technology is changing as the way we see and play football continues to evolve. The integration of information and the creation of a centralised solution combined with the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning will allow us to work more effectively and make data-driven decisions. We are proud to collaborate with Bologna Fc 1909 and to support Italian football to move decisively towards an even brighter future.”
