Necaxa coaches and players will be able to analyze on-field, play-by-play action in unprecedented detail, harnessing hundreds of soccer-specific metrics as well as post-match panoramic and tactical videos. Genius Sports and Necaxa will create augmented live video feeds, providing Liga MX fans with data-driven visualizations and animations to deliver a more immersive and match-day experience across linear and digital channels.

“Genius Sports is a company that Necaxa is proud to be partners with. We believe that Genius Sports will greatly improve the product and experience we provide to our fans both on and off the pitch, in exciting new ways.
