World1 Sports is pleased to announce an official partnership with global sports technology giant,
Playermaker. With this agreement, World1 Sports is now Playermaker’s partner in the Indian market
and will work to make Playermaker's technology widely available to India’s football clubs and teams,
in order to support the advancement of the game in the country.

Playermaker’s flagship device is the latest in wearable sports technology, consisting of an ultra-light
weight sensor that is strapped around the boot. The technology is currently used by hundreds of
teams and academies around the world, male and female, including the Premier league’s elite
teams.

Playermaker solution was architected by an interdisciplinary team of experts in the fields of
biomechanics, machine learning, and football innovation, the Playermaker device collects both
technical and physical – performance data such as number of touches, leg balance, short/long
possession, kick velocity, distance running, top speed, number of sprint and many more, and makes
it available for analysis within minutes of completing training sessions and matches. Furthermore,

impossible for clubs and teams to be successful without performance data analysis and the key
insights provided,” said Yuval Odem, COO of Playermaker. “We are excited to partner with World1
Sports, allowing Indian clubs and teams, male and female, to accelerate their training and skills
faster than ever before.”
