The United Soccer League (USL) announced a partnership Monday with WSC Sports, an Israeli tech company that has been producing automated sports highlights for the NBA since 2015.
The Division II soccer league, which includes several sister teams of Major League Soccer franchises, will use the artificial intelligence platform to automate and expedite its video creation for broadcast highlights and distribution. The video technology will also be used behind-the-scenes to assist scouts with finding new talent and coaches with post-game review film sessions.
WSC’s platform analyzes live sports broadcasts, identifies each event that occurs during a game, and edits together short-form video content.
