African Football Confederation to work with Lausanne start-up

Advanced Sport Instrument (ASI), a Lausanne based start-up, recently announced that its performance tracking solution FieldWiz will be used by the Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) to boost its qualified national teams for the FIFA World Cup 2018 and beyond. ASI will deliver their services to the national teams of Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia.

The innovative start-up is specialised in the development of electronic performance and tracking solutions in sport and FieldWiz is an affordable, simple and standalone system customised for team-sports. Already used by several pro and semi-pro football teams on different continents, the product provides physical statistics with regards to sprints, distance, speed and accelerations. The tracker is based on GPS technology, which enables accurate data as well as functionalities such as heatmaps and replay functions.  As an analysis and decision making tool FieldWiz allows to gather facts and statistics, and compare players between games and positions over time. It can be used as a demonstration tool to better communicate a strategy or as a motivation tool for trainers and players.
