About xPitch
xPitch, often described as the "Strava for casual footballers," is an innovative sports data visualization tool designed to transform standard GPS recordings from your everyday smartwatch into professional, football-specific match analysis.
Built by software engineer Ismail Sunni, xPitch eliminates the need for expensive dedicated trackers or fancy proprietary sensors. Instead, players can simply record their matches on a smartwatch and upload standard FIT, GPX, or TCX files directly to the platform. Once uploaded, the tool provides deep insights including heatmaps, movement trails, playing zones, sprint metrics, heart-rate context, and estimated player roles.
Key functionalities include mapping sessions onto a real football pitch, splitting active play time from rest periods, maintaining a match history log complete with personal notes and photos, sharing stats with teammates, and exporting ready-to-share graphics optimized for social media Stories.
