Olocip joins VCF Innovation Hub as Partner to VCF Academy

Valencia CF have reached an agreement with Olocip, who join the VCF Innovation Hub and offer the club and the VCF Academy the latest artificial intelligence technologies for performance analysis.

The platform, founded by former LaLiga player Esteban Granero and made up of professors and doctors in AI, merges two seemingly disparate worlds in football and science.

With this alliance, both the VCF Academy and the first Valencia CF men and women's teams will have access to the artificial intelligence platform, offering predictive performance analysis of the players using scientific rigor, objectivity and contextualisation adapted to the club itself. In addition, Olocip's AI solution has the unique ability to objectively rate the performance of all players on a day-to-day basis.

Olocip's intelligent platform will help the club's coaching staff in their evaluations, with the aim of helping their searches and meeting their needs, becoming a tool that provides exclusive knowledge and a competitive advantage.

Director of Operations of the VCF Academy, Luis Martínez, said after signing the agreement that: “we are very happy to have a company like Olocip alongside us. At the club, we firmly believe in the integration of new technologies into football, and we are delighted to be able to enjoy their artificial intelligence tool. This is a collaboration that fits perfectly with the objectives of the VCF Innovation Hub."

CEO and founder of Olocip, Esteban Granero, added that: “it is a real privilege to become part of one of the most important hubs in football -not only in Spain, but also in the world. The Olocip team are very committed to the work carried out by Valencia CF and introducing the use of artificial intelligence into its organisation makes them pioneers. A committment to technology will allow the club to have a competitive and differential advantage in their day-to-day operations."
