SmartCart SVX the mobile touchscreen making analysis easier 

Built with versatility in mind, SmartCart SVX is the world’s first extreme brightness touchscreen system suitable for outdoor sports presentation. 

Whether it be for television broadcast or coaching, this mobile solution is the best of both worlds. SmartCart SVX allows organisations to ‘get inside the game’. 

The touchscreen system, which is capable of being transported via four wheels, has been designed for live production and used in conjuction with TV sports broadcasters around the world.  

The uniqueness of this system means that rather being restricted to an indoor studio, broadcasters are now able to present in different ways via an outdoor setting. A built-in power supply and server means there’s very little hassle when setting up at location. 

SmartCart SVX has gone through rigorous testing to ensure it can stand up to extreme conditions that it may encounter, while also having the robust design that allows it to run smoothly – including adequate lighting even in bright sunshine. 

The brightness is as high as the latest stadium screens in full daylight, so there’s no trouble in making out what is being viewed. The bold and striking screen adds something extra to sports coverage, as presentation and analysis can be done live at the ground and even on the pitch, eliminating the need to cross to a studio or use a green screen background to get that match day feel. 

Most notably, SmartCart SUX was utilised throughout Euro 2016 in France, with the touchscreen technology helping to preview who would reach the final, while a comprehensive analysis of Germany’s Mats Hummels’ performance showed how he quelled the influence of Poland’s attacking duo of Robert Lewandowski and Arkadiusz Milik. Vision can be stopped so that the touchscreen can circle, highlight or even change what’s shown on screen. 

Presenters can also do interviews with players or coaches with SmartCart SVX backing them, opening the door for immediate post-match thoughts with a particular match highlight or moment analysed on the spot. This would do wonders for broadcast, giving viewers a greater insight into what goes on during a match. 

SmartCart SVX technology is tailor made not just for broadcast, but for club coaches seeking a reliable resource to communicate directly with their players. As is the case in broadcast, a coach can use the touchscreen to his or her advantage to bring up pieces of play that worked well or need improving – for instance a starting formation, attacking forays or defensive shape. The touchscreen feature allows coaches to move players around or change things on a still image to work out exactly what they are after from their team.

With the anytime, anywhere ability of SmartCart SVX, coaches can show recorded footage of gameplay that they are ideally looking for and then allow the players to immediately replicate it, with the quick turnaround between watching and putting it to action a very helpful tool during practice.

SmartCart SVX is a cost-effective alternative that requires very little equipment, but delivers coverage that gets everyone closer to the action and at the same time brings compelling content with an easy-to-use interface. It has already been trusted by major competitions UEFA Champions League, English Premier League and the aforementioned UEFA Euro 2016, while other sporting codes include the PGA Tour & European Tour (golf), European Rugby Champions Cup, Investec Ashes Series 2013 (cricket), National Football League (NFL) and the Wimbledon Championships (tennis). 

Operating throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and United States, sports broadcasters and clubs are fully supported in any analysis or coaching ventures they want to achieve.

Community Spirit Shines on AFC Grassroots Football Day 2026

This week, Football Australia (FA) celebrated AFC Grassroots Football Day 2026, championing the people and communities who continue to hold up a safe, inclusive and supportive environment in the football landscape.

‘For all, for life’

In collaboration with Football NSW, Canterbury Football Association and community club, Balmain & District Football Club, the day reflected the very best of what football provides.

The event brought in participants of all ages – from 4-74 years-old – and reached a total of 400 people. Girls-only programs, all-abilities sessions and over-age football ensured all were catered for.

Such a diverse range of participants builds on a wider drive during FIFA World Football Week, which seeks to promote the sport not just as the dazzling lights of 100,000-seater stadiums, but as a way to foster community spirit and social development.

Furthermore, FA support through its Club Changer program was a welcome addition to the action, emphasising the organisation’s commitment to nurture a real love for the game across communities in Australia.

“Through Club Changer we support our clubs to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable environment where everyone is welcome; whether that be as a player, volunteer, referee or supporter,” explained National Program Manager Club Development at FA, Grace Lambourne.

“Everyone should feel they belong and are welcome to play, stay, and love the game.”

 

A welcome celebration

While the upcoming FIFA World Cup will no doubt inspire millions of future Socceroos and Matildas, events like the AFC Grassroots Football Day represent something beyond just inspiration.

It is a platform. An opportunity to express a love for football and to connect with others while doing so.

And connections between the professional and grassroots game is more important than ever if Australia is to nurture the next generation of talent.

This is particularly clear in the rise of women’s football across the nation. Since the FIFA Women’s World Cup, female participation rose by 32%, and registrations for the MiniTillies Program skyrocketed from 264 in 2023, to 1223 in 2024.

The professionals spark passion. But communities turn that passion into playing time.

That is why celebrating grassroots football – and the volunteers and families who sustain it – is a vital part of Australia’s football future. Together, FA and the AFC are creating strong foundations built on positivity, engagement, and inclusivity for all with a love for the beautiful game.

Geelong Regional Football Hub vision one step closer to reality

A process five years in the making, the Geelong Regional Football Hub (GRFH) will now build its home at Sutcliffe Reserve in Corio.

A major advancement

The project promises to be a major boost for the football community in Victoria’s west.

But the approval isn’t just about addressing the current issues facing players in and around Geelong (with just one football pitch found per 6,971 people), it symbolises an all-important promise to players, coaches and supporters:

A promise to invest, support and grow.

So now, following an extensive process of potential site assessments and council approvals, Football Victoria (FV) will prepare to lay the physical foundations at Sutcliffe Reserve in Corio – ten minutes away from Geelong CBD.

“This is a brilliant result for the sport in Victoria and the start of something truly exciting for football in Geelong and the surrounding area,” said FV CEO, Dan Birrell, via press release.

But despite the obvious anticipation over site approval, there remains one more bridge to cross to bring this project from blueprint to building block: securing funding.

 

What is the GRFH?

Beyond a mere community football centre, the GRFH will become a world-class hub for playing opportunities, development pathways and venue for several of FV’s most popular competitions.

The proposed site will include five pitches, of which two will boast seated stands, as well as two pavilions, social spaces, kitchen and bar areas, media spaces, and facilities for players and match officials.

Such extensive, thorough infrastructure will therefore ensure the site can host an array of competitions for players across the landscape to showcase their talent. From supporting everything from school competitions to NPL VIC Men’s and Women’s games, the GRFH will be a place for player growth, opportunity and community engagement with the beautiful game.

And as Geelong Mayor, Stretch Kontelj, highlighted, the current demand requires investment of this nature as soon as possible.

“With more than 7,370 registered players across the Geelong region, the scale of demand is undeniable. A regional football hub would be genuinely transformational,” Kontelj said via press release.

“It would drive participation across all genders, abilities and levels of the game, strengthen education and development pathways, attract major events and tournaments and deliver lasting social and economic benefits for Geelong and the broader region.

The demand is there. The support is unwavering.

All that remains is the financial backing to bring about real, tangible results for those driving this vision forward.
