The Nationwide League One (NLO) is set to transform match recording by introducing advanced AI cameras that automatically track action, produce live streams, and generate in-depth analytics without the need for a dedicated operator.
Starting in 2026, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered cameras will become standard at match venues.
In partnership with Zkyte Technologies, the NLO is pioneering a digital football league that leverages AI-enhanced cameras for live match streaming.
The AI-powered cameras will meticulously track the ball and every player from various angles with unparalleled precision, ensuring that every moment of the match is captured in crystal-clear detail.
This innovative system eliminates blind spots and provides automated, intelligent footage that scouts, analysts, and coaches can fully depend on.
The NLO is poised to broadcast over 4,000 matches live in real-time, granting fans, scouts, and clubs immediate access to every game. The high-definition streams are optimized for an impeccable viewing experience, enabling teams to enhance their visibility and expand their audience.
Additionally, the AI Writing Assistant will empower media teams to create compelling content swiftly. It comprehends your tone and context, transforming rough ideas into polished blog posts, match reports, press releases, captions, and other essential content in mere minutes.
With intelligent prompts and real-time suggestions, every piece of material remains sharp, consistent, and publication-ready—ideal for busy media personnel eager to work efficiently and tell captivating stories.
Importantly, the NLO Digital Player Assessment System is setting a new standard for transparency and structure in Nigerian football. Every registered player will now undergo a thorough, standardized digital evaluation powered by cutting-edge technology.
This ensures that talent is measured fairly, consistently, and based on real performance indicators.
Clubs and scouts will have access to verified player assessments that include detailed metrics on physical attributes, technical skills, match performance, and growth potential.
Each assessment forms part of the player’s permanent digital profile, facilitating progress tracking, talent comparison, and the identification of development needs.
For the first time in Nigerian grassroots football, player assessment is free from guesswork—it’s digital, accurate, and comprehensively documented. This guarantees credibility for players, instills confidence in coaches, and provides clarity for scouts seeking the next generation of talent.
