Live tactical analysis
Every module runs frame by frame during the match and pushes the moments that matter to the bench while there is still time to act on them.

Tactical analysis
A suite of analysis modules, and it grows with you
Each module reads the event and phase layer and returns the moment, the players involved, and how often it recurs. We add modules to match how your club actually analyses.
You are committed in their final third when they win it back. Two of their players stayed upfield against one of yours, and the space behind is measured before the ball is even played into it.
- Rest defence
- 2 v 1
- Space behind
- 155 m²
- Severity
- Critical
Auto tagging
Your timeline fills itself
Every moment Alai detects arrives in your tagging timeline while the match is still running, already carrying the context that matters. Your analysts stop pressing keys and start reading the game.
- Tags appear live, with no one operating anything
- Works with the video tools your analysts already use
- Your own naming and definitions are preserved
- Opposition matches tagged from your club’s perspective

Events & phases
Events a human operator cannot produce
Conventional event data is typed by people watching a video feed. Alai reads the tracking data itself: all 22 players, the whole pitch, the whole match. Events and phases come back within five seconds, defined the way your club defines them, and land in your tagging timeline carrying context nobody could add by hand mid-match.

Products
Built for the way analysis actually works
Preparation, live decision support and evaluation in one system, connected to the tracking data you already pay for.
Set-piece intelligence
Corners classified by swing and arrival zone, with attacking runs, defensive roles, man-versus-zone marking and first contact recognised automatically, plus corner xG.
Pressing and press resistance
A pressing-intensity model quantifies the pressure each player applies, the outcome of every sequence, and the space your press opens up behind it.
Opponent preparation
The Insights Hub asks the same questions across many matches: which patterns recur, in which phase of play, and how the opponent has been broken down before.
Auto tagging and clips
Live tags in the timeline your analysts already use, key-moment clips made for you, and printable match reports.
Phase-aware throughout
Build-up, create, attacking play and both transitions, plus high, mid and low block. Every event is joined to the phase it happened in.

From the analysts
What clubs do with it
“Thanks to Alai's live capabilities, we can recognize tendencies directly in the game and actively adjust our tactics and coaching. During a recent Superliga game, we identified an unmarked striker through the analysis and adjusted our strategy accordingly — this data-driven approach helps us make more correct decisions in real-time.”
Fynn-Cedric Bach
Analyst, AaB
“During a match, the workflow can be incredibly hectic and sending even 2-3 comments down to the bench can make a crucial difference. Being able to tell them what's happening in real-time using Alai's platform has been really important while playing matches. We act on the information that Alai gives us, and we turn that information into action on the field.”
Nikolaj Meier
Analyst, Randers FC
“The project with Alai has been productive and the edge they bring to the market is super interesting. We used it to advance the current live analysis of Superliga games.”
Daniel Rønman Behr
Head of Data and Technology, Viborg FF
FAQ
Working with Alai
The practical questions analysis departments ask first.
What do we need before we can start?
A tracking data feed for your matches, and someone on the analysis side to point us at it. There is no hardware to install, no cameras to fit and nothing to change about how your matches are recorded.
How long does setup take?
Usually under a day once the data connection is agreed. Most clubs are running on their next fixture, with onboarding and analyst training completed across a couple of sessions after that.
What changes on match day?
For your staff, very little. Alai runs alongside the workflow you already have, and the output appears in the platform and in your tagging timeline. Nobody has to operate it during the game.
Who needs to be involved from our side?
An analyst to tell us how your club defines things and to receive the training. Nothing else is required. If you want to build on the API your own developers can, but that is optional rather than a prerequisite.
Can it follow how our club already works?
That is the intention. Definitions, naming and phases are configured to match your club rather than a fixed standard, so what comes out lines up with the language your staff already use.
How is our data handled?
Everything is processed in GDPR-compliant cloud infrastructure with access limited to your organisation. Your data stays yours, and we are happy to go through the details with your IT or legal team.
What support do we get?
Dedicated onboarding, training for the analysts who will use it, and ongoing support through the season. If something is not working on a match day, you can reach us.
