⚽European football returns this weekend, and we’ve been looking back at some of the best goals of the season so far. One of our favourites, named Ligue 1 Goal of the Month for October, was Matthis Abline’s strike for Nantes. And it looks better from every angle. Part of our Performance Studio, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝟯𝗗 enables coaches and analysts to re-live the game from any on-field perspective. This is made possible by 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘂𝘀𝗜𝗤, applying AI to thousands of mesh tracking datapoints per second to create an exact digital render of the entire 90 minutes. It lets users step into a player’s shoes, pause, rewind and analyse any moment of the game to deliver informed, data-led insights. Or... simply enjoy a brilliant goal from a completely new perspective.

⚽Since the start of this season, Genius Sports has been providing Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) to the Pro League. As a former Premier League official, Harry Lennard - now our Head of Officiating - knows first-hand how challenging those calls can be. 🗣️“Having run the line in hundreds of matches, I know how brutally demanding those split-second offside decisions are. When you’ve got a passionate crowd at your back, you have to rely on all your training and skill to make the right decision in the moment.” Our SAOT tech is powered by 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘂𝘀𝗜𝗤 - harnessing tracking data from every player and ball movement to deliver faster, more consistent decisions and greater transparency for fans. 📊The impact so far:  • Decisions made in seconds, not minutes  • Greater consistency across every match  • Instant visuals for fans and broadcasters Read the full article here 👇
