Pamplona (Thursday, June 27, 2024) - Club Atlético Osasuna has recently integrated four cutting-edge cameras powered by Staige's advanced artificial intelligence into its training facilities. These cameras record specific plays for in-depth analysis and live-stream matches of C. D. Subiza, U-19 and U-17 teams, and Osasuna women. This strategic partnership with Staige, a leading German AI company, is a testament to the club's commitment to staying at the forefront of player development technology.

"The use of Staige cameras and the decision to install them is to have an automated recording system that allows us not only to use the information we have at the level of analysis but also with which we can broadcast our matches and be able to monetize. With these cameras, we can record any match or training event to analyze later," said Imanol Lobo, head of the Department of Analysis and Big Data at the Osasuna Academy.

Today, the Rojillo youth teams are reaping the benefits of this technology, with three cameras installed in Tajonar and one in Sotoburu, the field of C.D. Subiza, Osasuna's affiliate in the fourth tier of Spanish football. These cameras have become invaluable tools for our coaches, enabling them to plan training sessions and make necessary adjustments live during matches. This real-time analysis capability is a game-changer for the team's performance. 

"The ability to have real-time analysis is a big perk for our coaches and players. Having the option to broadcast the games allows us to analyze the games live, which means that at any point, the players and coaches can receive information and use it to inform their decision-making," Lobo mentioned.

Beyond using this technology in the training and development of the Rojillo players, these cameras allow the broadcasting of several of the youth teams, as well as those of Osasuna Women, which gives the club a global projection as they open the door so that fans worldwide do not miss the home games of the future Rojillo players nor of the women's team. Another essential aspect to highlight is that they generate the possibility of creating income through possible sponsorships that can be achieved.

An organization backed by a German football giant

Staige collaborates closely with Borussia Dortmund, the UEFA Champions League runner-up and investor of the company, in developing different products that guarantee the best professional standards. More than 1,000 German clubs use these cameras to improve their training processes. With the help of Osasuna, they arrive in the Iberian Peninsula to continue being a fundamental part of the development of promising young players.

"We are excited to have found a professional Spanish partner in CA Osasuna, an esteemed and ambitious La Liga club. This partnership will elevate our presence in the Spanish market, contribute to Osasuna's youth academy's development and enhance its live-streaming capabilities. Moreover, through Osasuna's renowned reputation, we aim to reach Spanish grassroots clubs and hope to play a part in developing and digitalizing youth football in Spain," explained Jan Taube, CEO of Staige.
