Northern NSW Football has confirmed the renewal of its formal alliance with VEO, the AI-driven automatic football camera.

NNSWF has been an official collaborator with Veo since 2020, becoming one of the first Australian clients of the Copenhagen-based company.

Veo offers an affordable, all-in-one solution that allows football clubs of any size to automatically record and analyse matches and training sessions.

The portable Veo camera features two 4K lenses that capture a 180-degree field of view, enabling clubs to record every moment of a game in stunning video quality. This makes recording, watching, re-watching, and analysing football simpler than ever. The latest model, the Veo Cam 3, offers enhanced video quality, 5G live streaming, and an extended control range for remote operation.

Veo’s mission has consistently been to provide football recording and AI analysis to all clubs, regardless of their size, financial resources, or skill levels. Veo cameras are utilised by clubs at every level throughout northern NSW and Australia.

Veo has recently launched a new feature for users of the Veo 2 and 3 cameras. The ‘Player Spotlight‘ feature clips footage of individual players on the field, identified by their shirt numbers, facilitating quick and easy analysis.

Since their partnership began in 2020, Veo has introduced ‘Veo Live,’ enabling any club or team to livestream their matches from anywhere without the need for a camera operator. This feature allows games to be streamed on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and other preferred services.

NNSWF CEO Peter Haynes stated that he was happy to renew the partnership with Veo.

“NNSWF is thrilled to continue this partnership for another two years and provide our clubs with exclusive deals and discounts,” Haynes said via press release.

“Veo has been very useful for our organisation and we are looking forward to seeing how this can continue to help clubs in our region.”

Veo Market Lead for APAC, Jerry Jarnald, expressed his enthusiasm for continued collaboration with Northern NSW Football.

“At Veo, we are grateful for the continued trust from Northern NSW Football and its member clubs,” Jarnald said via press release.

“The adoption rate has been fantastic since 2021 when we started, with 100% of the NPL and Hit 106.9 Northern League One clubs, as well as around 45% of the Zone Football League clubs, choosing Veo as their recording solution so far. It’s a testament to the strong partnership we’ve built, but also to the clubs being progressive and aiming high with their player development.”

The Melbourne-based anf family-owned business will join the Victory family, uniting two institutions which represent the city’s culture and identity.

A partnership with local roots

As the newest partner of Melbourne Victory, Roasting Warehouse joins forces with a vital part of the city’s sporting landscape.

The club’s Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie, outlined why the partnership bears so much value to both parties.

“We are excited to collaborate with Roasting Warehouse, a community-oriented destination for high-quality coffee, proud of its foundations in Melbourne,” said Carnegie via official media release.

“Football and coffee sit at the epicentre of Melbourne’s culture. The two go hand-in-hand, consistently at the centre of the conversation that stirs Melburnians, which is no different to the conversation sport and Melbourne Victory stir in the State.”

Indeed, this is a partnership which combines the identity, passions and culture of an entire city, therefore giving it the foundations required for long-term, mutual success.

Representing the best of Melbourne

Both Victory and Roasting Warehouse are hugely successful in their respective industries. They are institutions with community-oriented philosphies, who pride themselves on craft and quality.

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Melbourne Victory, a club that represents the heart, passion, and ambition of Melbourne,” revealed Roasting Warehouse Head of Brand, Alexander Paraskevopoulos.

“As a Melbourne-founded, family-run business, supporting a team that means so much to the local community feels very natural for us.”

Furthermore, through their high-quality blends, Roasting Warehouse will look to prepare Victory’s players and staff for high performances on the pitch as the seasons nears completion.

But this is about far more than just fueling athletes.

This is a partnership which embodies and unites two of Melbourne’s greatest strengths and cultural markers – a connection forged from the city’s very own DNA.

Marie-Louise Eta makes history as new Union Berlin head coach

In an historic appointment, Eta will take over as head coach of Union Berlin until the end of the season.

History in the making

Previously the first female assistant coach in Bundesliga history with Union Berlin, Eta will now take the reigns of the men’s first team on an interim basis.

Currently, the club sit in 11th place in the Bundesliga table, but with only two wins so far in 2026, relegation appears an all-too-real prospect, and one which the club is desperate to avoid.

“Given the points gap in the lower half of the table, our place in the Bundesliga is not yet secure,” said Eta via official media release.

‘I am delighted that the club has entrusted me with this challenging task. One of Union’s strengths has always been, and remains, the ability to pull together in such situations.”

Eta will begin as Union’s new head coach with immediate effect, and will be in the dugout for the club’s matchup against Wolfsburg this weekend.

 

A step into an equal future

Eta’s appointment signals a major step towards a more level playing field in the football landscape.

Furthermore, Eta joins other coaches including Sabrinna Wittmann, Hannah Dingley and Corinne Diacre who, in recent years, have blazed a trail for female coaches to step into the men’s game.

Wittmann currently manages FC Ingolstadt in Germany’s third division, and was the first female head coach in Germany’s top three divisions.

In 2023, Dingley became caretaker manager of Forest Green Rovers, and thus the first woman to lead a men’s professional team in England.

Diacre, now head coach of France’s women’s national team, managed Ligue 2’s Clerment Foot between 2014 and 2017.

 

Final thoughts

The impact therefore, is that Eta’s appointment will show future generations of aspiring female coaches that men’s football is an equally viable and possible pathway as the women’s game.

The time is now to level the playing field.

And while it may be a short-term role, its effect on attitudes towards equality and fair opportunities in the game will hopefully resonate long after the season ends.
