Kick-Point electronic football goals used for the Messi10 Challenge

Among the different football contests, there is a freekick and a heading challenge. Both activities use Kick-Point electronic football goals to detect the player’s accuracy. The measured data is used to display the player’s result and create an outstanding atmosphere via lighting, LED-displays and sounds. The player can dive in and get the true feeling of being Lionel Messi.

The goal technique itself has been used for hundreds of events all over the world during the past years. Not only daily events take use of the unique capabilities of the electronic football goals. The technique also allows to use it for custom creations that require a certain ball detection or shot measurement, as it is greatly represented within the Messi Challenge that has been created by Circe du Soleil.
