How AI-captured video and data gives Sacramento Republic a winning edge
Having made the playoffs in the last three USL Championship seasons, Sacramento Republic FC is determined to kick on and win it all in 2025.
Assisting Sacramento’s title charge is Spiideo Perform, the cloud-based video and data analysis platform, which provides top-tier analysis tools to teams at every level.
Capturing high-definition, panoramic footage of every match and training session at the 11,500-capacity Heart Health Park utilizing its industry-leading AutoFollow technology, Spiideo is helping Sacramento’s squad to finetune their tactics, sharpen their skills, and outplay the competition.
“Winning the Championship, winning the playoffs, and picking up the trophy. I think we have a good enough team where we should be winning it all, and that’s across the board—players, staff, everything.”
Streamlining the video analysis process
Tackling inefficiencies in the analysis process by replacing manual recording with automation, Spiideo’s artificial intelligence-powered cameras capture a full 180-degree view of play without any human input, ensuring crucial moments aren’t missed.
For Sacramento’s coaching staff, recording a session is now as straightforward as scheduling it within Spiideo Perform—which frees up valuable time to focus on analyzing play and preparing feedback.
Delivering a masterclass in video analysis, Sacramento has implemented Spiideo into its daily workflow: game reviews during the first session after a match, individual reviews with select groups of players during mid-week, and detailed opposition scouting reports ahead of every fixture.
Using Spiideo Perform’s advanced presentation tools, coaches can contextualize clips with drawings, markings, and data overlays—all seamlessly stored in the cloud to enable greater collaboration—to create impactful visual feedback that players understand, take on board, and put into practice.
It’s this attention to detail that can put points on the board and pressure top teams into making playoff-defining mistakes.
“Spiideo really helps to paint a picture for the players, making it clear and easy to understand the feedback we’re giving them right away.”
Creating chances through data automation
Even the perfect game plan can fail to deliver results on matchdays. In-game adjustments are crucial, and video can play a vital role in making the right calls.
AutoData automatically tags every action, tracks each player’s position, and visualizes key stats in numerous charts and graphs, making video analysis faster, sharper, and more effective.
With game events tagged in real-time, coaches can access and share clips seconds after they occur, unlocking new opportunities to change the game. Through an iPad on the sidelines, Sacramento’s coaching staff can make note of positive plays and costly mistakes as they occur. When the half-time whistle blows, they can share a selection of clips with the players, providing visual feedback that can shift the game’s momentum.
“The video analysis process is very tedious, but by filtering with AutoData to find specific moments in the game, we can save so much time.”
