Ginga Introduces AI-Powered Soccer Tracker Designed to Bring Performance Analytics to Every Player
Sep 28, 2026
Live on Kickstarter, Ginga is an Al-powered soccer tracker made for the players the sports-tech industry forgot.
Rome, Italy, September 28, 2026 -- Ginga, a new AI-powered wearable soccer tracker designed to bring performance analytics beyond professional clubs and elite academies, is currently live on global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the technology to more players around the world.
Designed for youth players, amateurs, coaches, and anyone who simply loves playing the game, Ginga combines a compact wearable sensor with on-device artificial intelligence to track a player's performance without requiring a GPS unit, special vest, harness, or phone on the pitch. The sensor clips directly to the waistband of a player's shorts and records movement throughout a session, allowing users to review 36 football-specific metrics, session highlights, and progress over time through the Ginga app.
“Real football doesn't live in professional clubs and elite academies. It's the most played game on earth, and it's born on village pitches, in the street, anywhere there's a ball and someone who wants to play,” says Marco Signorelli, founder and CEO of Ginga. “Ginga is our attempt to give some of that back, in the digital language kids actually speak today: your sessions, your matches, your stats and your highlights in one app that rewards you for playing more. Because the more time you spend with the ball, the better you get.”
Unlike many performance-tracking systems developed primarily for professional environments, Ginga was created to make detailed soccer analytics more accessible to everyday players and grassroots teams. Its 3D motion sensors process movement data at 100Hz, while Ginga's on-device AI analyzes each session and converts the information into football-specific performance metrics without relying on GPS.
Players can use the system indoors or outdoors and simply sync the device with the Ginga app after playing to review their performance. The platform is designed to help users understand areas including speed, agility, endurance, technical performance, and development over time, while giving coaches an additional way to monitor individual players and teams throughout a season.
Key Features of Ginga:
- 36 Soccer Performance Metrics — Tracks football-specific performance data across each training session or match.
- On-Device AI — Uses an integrated neural network to analyze movement and calculate performance metrics while the player is on the pitch.
- 3D Motion Tracking — Processes movement data at 100Hz without requiring GPS.
- Clip-and-Go Design — Attaches directly to the waistband of a player's shorts without the need for a vest, harness, or special equipment.
- 15-Day Battery Life — Designed to support extended periods of regular play between charges.
- Indoor and Outdoor Use — Works across different playing environments, including indoor football and five-a-side sessions.
- Progress Tracking — Allows players to review session history, highlights, and performance trends through the Ginga app.
- Designed for Players and Coaches — Gives individual players insight into their own development while providing coaches with additional performance information across a squad.
“The street is where you fall in love with the game, but the pitch with a coach on it is where you actually learn it: tactics, positioning, the biggest steps a player makes,” adds Signorelli. “Performance technology has existed for twenty years and it has been priced out of reach for the overwhelming majority of clubs. At Ginga's price, a youth coach can finally follow a whole squad and every individual in it: who is progressing across the season, who is overloaded, who is quietly getting better.”
Ginga's approach is built around making the technology as unobtrusive as possible. Rather than asking players to change how they train or play, the sensor is designed to remain clipped to their existing shorts while collecting performance information in the background. According to the company, this allows the technology to travel with players throughout their football journey, whether they are pursuing the game competitively or simply playing because they love it.
“Everything else asks you to change how you play: a vest, a camera on a tripod, someone to interpret the output for you. Ginga is one small sensor that lives with you,” says Signorelli. “What we're building is a digital layer that travels with you through your football life; whether you turn professional or play purely because you love it. It belongs to you, it grows with you, and you can share it with the people you play with.”

Eumir Marcial hails SportsPlus’ unwavering support for Filipino athletes
MANILA, Philippines — Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial has a heavyweight in his corner. SportsPlus, the country’s premier sportsbook, has partnered with the Filipino boxing star for his last two professional bouts, supporting him as he continues his pursuit of a world championship. Marcial, 8-0 with 5 knockouts as a professional, is coming off a highlight-reel victory after stopping Omar Huerta via third-round knockout earlier this month in California, USA. Reflecting on his professional journey, Marcial credited SportsPlus for playing an important role in his development inside and outside the ring. “First of all, I’m truly honored and grateful that SportsPlus PH believed in me and did not hesitate to support me. They made me feel that I can become a world champion someday as a professional boxer,” Marcial said. “They are there to help and support me as I take every step in my career. From the 50th Anniversary of Thrilla in Manila to my fight against Huerta, they have been there, backing me and supporting me every step of the way.” Beyond his own partnership with SportsPlus, the 30-year-old Marcial, who hails from Lunzuran, Zamboanga City, also acknowledged the company’s broader support for Filipino athletes through its partnership with the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). “I’m also very happy because they don’t just support me in my professional fights. They also support us national athletes through their partnership with the Philippine Olympic Committee,” Marcial said. “SportsPlus also supports the grassroots program that I’m building right now. Every time I need support, they are there. They believe Filipino athletes deserve recognition not only in the Philippines, but around the world,” he continued. “They also believe that through sports, you can build a better future and achieve success. That’s why SportsPlus’ trust and support mean so much to me. They are not just a sponsor; they truly believe in me, in Filipino athletes, and in Philippine sports.” At 5-foot-11, Marcial also cross-trains in basketball and is part of the Zamboanga SiKat roster in the ongoing SportsPlus MPBL (Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League) 2026 Season. But while Marcial enjoys being on the basketball court, his primary focus remains boxing. “I hope this journey with SportsPlus continues until we finally win the world championship belt,” said Marcial, who has been promised a world title shot next year by PBC and his longtime adviser and matchmaker Sean Gibbons. SportsPlus Head of Brand Marketing Paul Macalindong expressed equal enthusiasm about the partnership. “SportsPlus and Eumir Marcial’s partnership is built on shared values of integrity, excellence, and a deep commitment to sports. We believe in the potential of Filipino athletes, and we firmly believe that Eumir has what it takes to become a world champion,” Macalindong said. Marcial has already demonstrated the talent, determination, and resilience required to compete at the highest level. With SportsPlus continuing to support his professional journey, the Filipino boxing star remains focused on the ultimate goal—a world championship. TMT

Bulls acquire Buddy Hield in trade with Hornets for Rob Dillingham
CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls have acquired veteran guard Buddy Hield and cash from the Charlotte Hornets for guard Rob Dillingham. The teams announced the trade on Sunday. Hield, 33, is on the move for the second time in five days. He was traded from Atlanta to Charlotte on Tuesday. Hield played for Golden State and Atlanta last season, averaging 7.6 points in 51 games. He was traded from the Warriors to the Hawks in February. Chicago, which went 31-51 last season, is rebuilding under new leadership. Bryson Graham was hired as executive vice president of basketball operations in May, and Tiago Splitter was hired as coach in June. The Bulls selected Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain in the first round of the draft in June. They also signed Norman Powell in free agency. Dillingham, who turns 22 in January, was the No. 8 pick in the 2024 draft. He was traded from Minnesota to Chicago in the Ayo Dosunmu deal in February. The North Carolina native averaged 6.3 points and 2.2 assists in 65 games last season. Dillingham joins a Charlotte team that went 44-38 last year in its first winning season since 2021-22. The Hornets beat the Miami Heat 127-126 in the NBA's play-in tournament before being eliminated by the Orlando Magic in their next game.

Paalam almost spent a year outside of the ring and even skipped the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand—proving that he’s hungrier than ever to top his 2018 bronze finish at the Jakarta Asian Games. The 28-year-old Paalam opened the first round strong after sending his opponent to the ropes, allowing three judges to score in his favor. The 27-year-old Zhang started to counter Paalam’s attack in the second round, dictating the first minute. However, Paalam changed his game plan and landed better blows, showing he was not overwhelmed by China’s attacks. Paalam gained four nods of the judges in the second round. Frustration showed on Zhang’s side as he tackled Paalam to the ground in the third round. However, Paalam remained tactical and threw one-two punches and made more jabs to secure his win.
