Luis Llagostera, CEO and founder of Fly-Fut “The combination between drone technology and artificial intelligence will change the football world forever.

Today it's the moment to know another sponsor of the club for the season 2021/2022, Fly-Fut, with Luis Llagostera, CEO and founder of the entity pioneer in the amateur and professional football.

Define Fly-Fut:

The first enterprise to applied drone technology and artificial intelligence in the football world

Fly-Fut defines itself as a technological start-up, however you work with the big teams of Spanish and Italian football. We could say that it isn’t a bad star, right?

That is correct, the truth is that we cannot complain about it. We have almost five years without a stop, but we are lucky that we have developed a technology that can add the clubs inside the field. It is clear that the drones do not score any goals, but like Julio Senn (Ex general director of Real Madrid) if you have a Fly Fut Pro you can be tactically one step in front of your rival

How does the idea come, what were the opportunities that you saw in the market for starting this enterprise?

We started on amateur football, but some of our investors keep inviting us for professional football. There we started, as a pilot, developing better technology and step by step we made the first protocol of the recording of tactic football with drones. 

There are people that might be worried about the issue of security when we talk about drones. What is the politics of the enterprise regarding this topic?

First of all is the security of the players. For that the enterprise has a lot of security protocols that applied themself at the maximum endeavor. All of the pilot projects must pass a formation and an exam that is theory and practice. There we put the first brech to the entrance and share of the service so only the best capable person can access our services. Our ratio of incidence is below 1% and more than 5.000 that is how it works. It is true that every day there are more clubs that try to record each other  but most of them do it  outside the law without asking permission and over all the things without experienced pilots like the ones we got at Fly-Fut where the pilots got between 150-400 flight hours.

What is the value that Fly-Fut can give to the clubs of football, and recording their training sessions?

A lot. The analyst at this moment is recording on the tribune can recover a 30% of the labor day and re assign it to analyze it, not in record. The club generates a data base video, where the only way they can enter is to check out the training and the matches for checking out the evolution that the players are having. It is a single or steady plane that shows the distance and the options more clearly. The players learn quickly because the plane or the image is easier to understand. On the matches when we applied our streaming technology from the drones, the trainer can see the match from a better perspective. 

What does a person need to fly one of these drones, what is the license needed? 

There are many licenses needed, it is not only worthy to have a drone pilot permit. WE need to have the operation cordance with the Ministerio del Interior, Ministerio de Defensa, airport managers, and others. The truth is that in that aspect the permit for recording without any trouble are too much, but at the end they secure us for any accident and over all the things about us, we fulfill  with everything and they gave us an extra value in the confidence of our clients

What is the next step to follow in the enterprise? Where do you look to expand the brand?

At the moment we are concentrating on the clubs and federations that we have as partners. The next step is to improve the technology and keep conquering the international market. 

Do you consider that drones can change the way that the matches/events are broadcast, have you planted this idea?

Absolutely, combining the technology of drones and artificial intelligence will change the football world forever. Take a look at us, we have been a humble enterprise that will change football forever. In the first three years since the creation we have already set foot on the first division and champions league, second and third competitions junior federated and senior not federated… The potential is immense. In the amateur categories, the impact is much bigger. These players and their families have never had on their power these recorded matches and narrated for a professional. On the button we are making the dream come true when they see themselves as their idols, that is too strong.
