The new technology has also been approved by football lawmakers IFAB (International Football Association Board).<\/p>\n
Playermaker CEO and co-founder Guy Aharon: \u2018Five years ago, we made a bold bet to place sensors on the foot, driven by our unwavering belief that we could deliver unprecedented data and insights previously unimaginable.<\/p>\n
\u2018Despite the skeptics who labeled us as crazy, doubting anyone would embrace sensors on their football boots, we persevered. Now, just a few years later FIFA has acknowledged the safety, precision, and undeniable future potential of footwear sensors in revolutionizing the game for all.\u2019<\/p>\n
Playermaker has partnerships with over 200 professional football clubs, including Premier League sides Manchester City and Fulham, alongside Champions League participants Benfica.<\/p>\n
