Since the start of the 2025-26 season, the Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) has been using 3D tracking technology to capture detailed movement data from every Bundesliga match. Tracking cameras record player activity from kick-off, generating a precise digital model of each footballer on the pitch. The result is a comprehensive dataset that tracks positioning and movement in real time while enabling accurate visualization and virtualization of player actions.

In this showcase, Dr. Hendrik Weber, Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) SVP of Sports Technology and Innovation, outlines how it comes together and discusses possible use cases for the technology.
