Sports Writing (EFE).— The National Football League (NFL) announced this Wednesday a strategic alliance with Microsoft Corp. to implement artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in different aspects of professional American football.

“We are entering a new era of innovation in the NFL thanks to our collaboration with Microsoft to implement AI in key areas. With these technologies, there are enormous opportunities to improve the game day experience for our teams and offer a more attractive product to our fans,” said Gary Brantley, NFL Chief Information Officer. According to the organization, AI and cloud platforms will allow coaches to access and analyze data in real time, facilitating more precise and personalized tactical decisions. Sean McVay, coach of the Los Angeles Rams, highlighted that this tool “will improve efficiency and precision by breaking down complex information into understandable data that can be quickly communicated to players so they can reach their full potential.”

Technological innovations in the field

The league detailed that the NFL Band Visualization System has been updated with more than 2,500 computers, which will allow for an exhaustive tracking of the nearly 1,800 active players. This system offers the possibility of filtering plays under different criteria — such as distance to advance, scores or penalties — to analyze formations, decipher defensive coverages and make faster strategic decisions. In addition, the AI will have the ability to record and track incidents during matches, such as delays due to bad weather or technical problems, helping the league to refine decision-making in future matchdays.

Security and association with players

The NFL Players Association will also have access to these solutions, mainly in the video review process that seeks to improve efficiency and reinforce safety on the field. Bryson Gordon, Microsoft’s vice president of global marketing, valued the alliance by pointing out that “extending this collaboration is more than just an American football story; it’s a plan for transformation.” With this agreement, the NFL is at the forefront in the use of digital tools, reinforcing its commitment to technology applied to high-performance sports.
