The date is set: after last year’s successful premiere, SportsInnovation 2024 has now been scheduled. Also in this issue, we look ahead to the not-so-distant future – specifically, a study that examines the question of how media production and media products will continue to develop up to the year 2030. Plus, in our video we look back on the latest application of the 5G cellular network standard in Bundesliga reporting.

Two new Bundesliga Match Facts powered by AWS
|
The new Match Facts are "Keeper Efficiency" and "Ball Recovery Time"
Keeper Efficiency is based on xSaves, which is derived from the Expected Goals (xGoals) model, while xSaves indicates the probability of a shot on goal being saved. Ball Recovery Time, on the other hand, calculates with accuracy down to the second how quickly a team recovers the ball after losing it.
