LaLiga: Atlético-Linkopings, the first match to be broadcast through a subjective camera

The women's football match between Club Atlético de Madrid - Linköpings FC (9-1) was the first to use a video camera on the players, with the assistance of Spanish company FirstV1sion, said LaLiga on 07/08/2016. The Spanish League is the first to use cameras placed on players during the broadcast of a match.

The two Atlético Madrid goalkeepers, Dolores Gallardo and Andrea Paraluta, wore FirstV1sion cameras attached to their shirts. "The product offers viewers a new means of experiencing football, in which they gain a first-hand feel of the game from the players' perspective. The camera and broadcasting system are incorporated within a vest, with the latter sending images to a mobile unit where they complement the existing range of cameras," said LaLiga on 09/08/2016.

"The perspective that FirstV1sion offers will change the way we feel and experience football. To be able to put yourselves in the players’ shoes in a sport like football will change everything," said Roger Antunez, CEO of FirstV1sion, on 09/08/2016.
