Coverage of El Clasico this year includes sound technology for the first time which allows viewers to be right at the heart of the action.
This brand new system locates the ball through automatic tracking and activates the microphones in the vicinity. Fans can listen to what is happening on the pitch, from each shout to each shot on goal, while always respecting players’ privacy when they exchange words on the pitch.
LaLiga has partnered with various leading technology providers on the global stage to put together a range of technical tools including 4K-HDR, 360º replays, an aerial camera and Be The Player, enabling a potential audience of over 650 million supporters in 183 countries to feel closer to the action than ever before.
An uninterrupted international feed will begin two hours before kick-off and run until after the post-match press conferences, ensuring that fans all over the world do not miss a single second of the event. There will be a total of 40 cameras, including some in helicopters or on cranes, while six super-slow ones will track the world’s biggest stars throughout the contest.
In addition, thanks to 38 5K cameras located all over the stadium, coverage will feature 360° video replays, using the same technology implemented in competitions such as the NBA and NFL. The 360° replays offer unique shots from anywhere on the pitch, including the chance to take in the action from the players’ perspective, thanks to the Be The Player feature.
This groundbreaking technology was used for the first time in LaLiga during El Clasico in December 2017. A total of six stadiums are equipped with 360° replay technology: the Camp Nou, the Santiago Bernabeu, the Sanchez-Pizjuan, the Wanda Metropolitano, Mestalla and San Mames.
LaLiga’s aerial camera is positioned 21 metres above the pitch, which provides unique overhead footage and allows fans all over the world to enjoy spectacular bird’s-eye views of the action and the stadium. The lofty vantage point, coupled with the camera’s ability to spin and travel at great speed, means it offers a special perspective of the pitch.
These cameras are compact, high-definition models with a 2/3, 14x zoom wide-angle lens, whose footage is transmitted from the pitch to a mobile unit via fibre-optic cables. They can cover an area of almost 7,000 m2.
LaLiga’s Mediacoach suite of cutting-edge match analysis tools and services, developed by MEDIAPRO, will be available to managers Ernesto Valverde and Julen Lopetegui even as the action unfolds during El Clasico. Mediacoach captures statistical, tactical and performance-related data, all of which is made available almost in real time, so that the managers can make decisions in the dugout.
Such technology ensures that LaLiga fans continue to get the best and most innovative television experience ever seen in world football.

Rented Crowed, APC AKIDA Leader with Zamfara State Govt. Buses Embark on Campaign of Calumny at DSS Office
Godiya Hamza, a Media Analyst, writes from Abuja
The orchestrated campaign of calumny against the Honourable Minister of State for Defence H.E Dr Bello Muhammad Matawalle MON by a group of street orchins recruited by the leader of APC AKIDA Tijjani Ramallan is very preposterous and indecent.
This is politics too far, Ramadan has been attacking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR right from campaign days. He never supported or participated in APC activities, he has been jealous of Matawalle loyalty to our President.
Tijjani Ramallan has been sponsoring Banditry and romancing with criminals.
The leader of the APC AKIDA Tijjani Ramallan is being sponsored by the state government to attack the person of Dr Matawalle. It is expected that by now the DSS should have arrested him . He has found himself as a willing tool to be manipulated by Governor Dauda Lawal in attacking Dr Matawalle.
The earlier smear campaign embarked by zamfara state government which was stopped by a court order has forced them to shift to the use of APC AKIDA to carry out their mischief.
What zamfara people need is good governance and not wasting the state resources in trying to pull Matawalle down.
Pull him down syndrome pays no body.
In December 2022, aged one and a half years old, the world’s first surviving nonuplets went on their first plane flight.
They travelled from Morocco, where they were born and lived for 19 months, to their parents’ home country of Mali.
And now, two months shy of their third birthday, the nonuplets have made their first trip to Europe, visiting Italy to appear on our televised talent show Lo Show dei Record!
We bet it feels so beautiful to see them all grow and wish them the very best 🥳
