STRIVR Labs is bringing its virtual reality training system to the German Football Association (DFB) in a new technology partnership that will be the first foray by both organizations into virtual reality’s potential uses in soccer.
The DFB is home to the German national team that won the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the Bundesliga, the women’s national team, and various other leagues and teams across Germany. It also operates a youth football program, which is where the DFB plans to first use STRIVR‘s technology, according to Nicolas Jungkind, the head of the DFB Academy Technology Lab.
