Our story
Alai started as a computer science master's thesis project at Aalborg University in collaboration with Aalborg BK. The club had a clear challenge: they had invested in tracking data technology but needed better ways to use this data during matches.
Working with the club's analysts and coaching staff, we developed an AI solution that could analyze defensive vulnerabilities in real time, something that was not possible with traditional analysis methods. The project's practical value quickly drew interest from other professional clubs.
Today Alai runs a suite of tactical analysis on live tracking data for clubs and federations across Europe, covering rest defence, pressing, set pieces and line-breaking passes, and delivers the results into the video tools analysts already use. We've turned academic research into tools that hold up on match day.
