Speaking on the partnership, ReSpo.Vision chief executive Pawel Osterreicher commented: “This cooperation perfectly encapsulates the power of ReSpo.Vision’s computer vision technology, and how we believe it will drive change by democratising access to data at every level of the football pyramid.
“The Dutch football team is one of the most celebrated in the history of the game, and now we are helping to ensure that, across their youth teams, the next generation have access to elite, data-driven insights.”
For ReSpo.Vision, this serves to bolster a soccer client base that already includes North America’s Concacaf governing body, South America’s Conmebol Copa America, and a number of other individual clubs and national associations.
