Company profile
researched Aug 2026ReSpo.Vision is a Warsaw-based sports technology company that applies computer vision and deep learning to standard broadcast or wide-angle tactical camera feeds in order to produce structured football performance data. From a single video input, its system tracks players, the ball and referees, reconstructing the game in 2D and 3D and capturing player positions, body keypoints and ball trajectories without wearables, GPS devices, multi-camera rigs or other in-stadium hardware. Company materials describe detection of dozens of body points per player in three-dimensional space, and its cloud documentation describes tracking of more than 40 player body parts at 60 samples per second, generating roughly 150 million data points per match.
The resulting data is packaged into several product lines. Data & Analytics covers tactical, physical and spatial metrics such as pressing intensity, team shape, zones of control, passing options and physical output; TactIQ is a game-intelligence platform with interactive dashboards, tactical and fitness metrics and a built-in AI assistant; and 3D Data & Visuals supports broadcast overlays, virtual advertising and "digital twin" recreations that let viewers relive match moments from a player's first-person perspective. Additional media tools include automated contextual graphics and natural-language interfaces for querying analytics. The company also announced ReSpo.Recruit, which applies tracking data to recruitment decisions. Post-match analytics are described as delivered within hours of the final whistle, with near-live and live pipelines available or in rollout depending on the competition.
Founding story
The company was founded by Mateusz Szala, Wojciech Rosiński, Łukasz Grad and Paweł Osterreicher, with Osterreicher serving as CEO. Osterreicher has described building a deep tech company in sports as a difficult, trail-blazing effort driven by a belief that technology can reshape how the game is played, watched and understood.
Business model
ReSpo.Vision sells data, analytics software and visualisation services to sports organisations and rights-holders, delivering output remotely from existing video feeds rather than through installed hardware. Prospective customers are engaged through demo requests, and case studies with Concacaf and Wisła Kraków are used to illustrate deployments across competitions and clubs.
Sources describe commercial relationships with clubs, leagues, federations, broadcasters and sportsbooks for tracking data, analytics platforms and media/visualisation products, including broadcast overlays and virtual advertising positioned as revenue-generating for rights-holders; specific pricing is not stated.
Traction
Reported clients include Concacaf, CONMEBOL, the Polish and Danish football associations, Parma Calcio and undisclosed Champions League-winning clubs. Case studies cover scalable tracking across Concacaf's competitions and support for Wisła Kraków's Polish Cup campaign. The company received FIFA Basic certification for data quality and cites a 2025 EPTS certificate.
Latest developments
In June 2025 ReSpo.Vision announced a round of nearly $5 million (€4.2 million) led by Vinci and Smartlink with angel participation, to be used for expanding into more leagues and markets, growing engineering and AI teams, and developing offerings for broadcasters, rights-holders and digital platforms, including digital twin fan experiences. The company also announced ReSpo.Recruit, applying tracking data to recruitment decisions, and lists a TactIQ game intelligence platform with an AI assistant.

Market position
ReSpo.Vision operates in the football tracking and analytics market alongside SkillCorner, serving confederations, national associations and clubs. Its investor Vinci notes potential future application of the technology in other industries such as defence or medicine.
The company positions its remote, video-only approach against traditional tracking systems that require multi-camera installations or GPS wearables, arguing that working from existing feeds makes deployment faster, cheaper to scale and usable in any stadium or competition. This is framed as extending elite-level data to organisations with smaller budgets, including lower divisions, youth and women's football. Press coverage identifies it as a competitor to SkillCorner and notes FIFA Basic certification for data quality; the website cites a 2025 EPTS certificate.
Technology
The core system is a single-camera 3D tracking pipeline built on computer vision and machine learning models trained on football-specific movement and pitch geometry. It ingests broadcast TV feeds or tactical camera output without preinstalled cameras or human intervention and outputs continuous 3D coordinates for player body segments and the ball, which are then used for automated event detection, performance assessment, visualisation, predictions and bookmaker statistics. The platform is cloud-native and runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the Frankfurt region, using AMD flex virtual machines, bare-metal HPC instances and NVIDIA P100, A10 and A100 GPUs within an OCI Kubernetes Engine cluster that scales between 20 and 40 instances; storage uses OCI Block Volumes and Object Storage, with Grafana and OCI Monitoring, Logging and Alarms for observability and OCI DevOps for cluster maintenance. A metaverse-ready visualisation engine renders actions from multiple perspectives.
Go-to-market
The company markets through its website with demo requests and segmented solutions pages for teams, leagues and federations, media and broadcasters, and sportsbooks, supported by published case studies, a content hub and participation in startup pitch events such as Vestbee Summer Pitch CEE.
Football clubs and academies, leagues and federations, national associations, media companies and broadcasters, and sportsbooks. Named clients and users include Concacaf, CONMEBOL (Copa America 2024), the Polish and Danish football associations, Serie A's Parma Calcio, Wisła Kraków and undisclosed UEFA Champions League-winning clubs.
Geography
Headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, with cloud infrastructure deployed in Oracle's Frankfurt region. Deployments span European and Americas football, including Concacaf competitions from youth championships to the Nations League Finals, CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, the Polish and Danish national associations, and clubs in Poland and Italy.
History
Founding year is reported inconsistently across sources: Oracle's architecture write-up states the Warsaw-based company was founded in 2019, while 2025 funding coverage states it was founded in 2020. The company was selected among ten startups at Vestbee Summer Pitch CEE in July 2024, obtained FIFA Basic certification for data quality, and announced a funding round of nearly $5 million (€4.2 million) in June 2025 to scale its tracking system and broadcaster products.
Risks & controversies
Sources report a discrepancy in the stated founding year (2019 in Oracle documentation versus 2020 in funding coverage) and in stated tracking specifications (more than 40 body parts at 60 samples per second per Oracle documentation; over 50 body points and up to 25 samples per second per company and press material). The company operates in a competitive tracking market that includes SkillCorner, several major client relationships are undisclosed, and delivery depends on adequate video quality with most players visible for the majority of a match.
