Roupeiro (Portuguese) is an important behind-the-scenes support for a soccer team, meaning a soccer team’s equipment clerk.

After that, named the app as myRoupeiro, hoping that it would be a useful tool to support your team.

Notes

  • Not include a video player
  • myRoupeiro is an application for recording and analyzing by paying attention to the player who played near the ball within the range that could be shot with a video camera.
    Therefore, it is not compatible with analysis such as the movement of the ball itself, the off-the-ball movement of players, and tracking data throughout the game.
  • a device with a large screen size, such as a tablet is recommended
