Earlier this year the Quakes announced a collaboration with the German Football Association, DFB, and the DFB Academy, focusing on knowledge exchange, game development and machine learning.
One of the most successful countries in the international game at both the senior and youth levels, Germany is the reining World Cup champion after defeating Argentina in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. This year the DFB have also won the 2017 Confederations Cup and the 2017 U-21 European Championships.
The aim of the collaboration is to develop new tactical, technical, physical and, in particular, cognitive standards in a measureable and actionable manner.
