IT and software firm Globant (NYSE:GLOB) and LaLiga Tech – the tech
subsidiary of sports league LaLiga – have joined to collaborate with Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT) “on a series of initiatives with the
goal of fostering the transformation of sports in various domains through the
utilization of Artificial Intelligence.” This will include Near Real Time (NRT)
automatic generation of multilingual subtitle for live sports matches,
automatic translation of sports content, the provision of real-time metrics to
each team's head coach and their assistants, and more. Agustin Huerta, SVP of
Technology of Globant, commented:
"For a decade, artificial intelligence and data have been an
integral part of Globant's vision, being applied transversally to all areas of
the company, from talent circuits to operational models, to deploy solutions to
increase productivity and efficiency. With this joint venture with LaLiga, we
are working to extend our capabilities to LaLiga Tech with the support of a big
partner such as Microsoft, and the first tests have proven to be disruptive and
successful."
DICK’s Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS) has announced the continued expansion of its House of
Sport brand with nine new locations celebrating their grand openings in July
and August. The House of Sport outlet is “an approximately 100,000+ square foot
store that provides customers with an incredible assortment of products along
with in-store experiences,” and launches with an activity-filled weekend for
the grand opening. Toni Roeller, senior vice president, In-store Environment,
Visual Merchandising and House of Sport, explained:
"These grand openings have been a superb way to introduce the
House of Sport store to our customers in these markets. It's exciting that the
feedback from customers has been so positive and the communities see the stores
as a destination. We're equally excited about bringing House of Sport to more
communities in 2024 and beyond."
England to Face
Spain in FIFA Women’s World Cup Final on Sunday, and Washington Commanders
Announce Sam Howell as Starting Quarterback
The FIFA Women’s World Cup is about to
see its first all-European final since 2003, with Spain and England competing
for the title in Sydney, Australia this Sunday. An England victory would be the
first time that the World Cup trophy returned to the birthplace of the sport
since 1966, when the men’s team beat West Germany 4-2. The Associated
Press quotes England
coach Sarina Wiegman, who said:
“Every step has been really, really hard. But again, we find a way.
And I think the opponents, the women’s game has grown so much that it’s really
hard to get through. So I know it’s very, very special and that’s how it feels,
too.”
ESPN reports that in the NFL, the Washington
Commanders have named Sam Howell as their starting quarterback. Fellow
quarterback Jacoby Brisset was also in the running for the position. The team’s
head coach, Ron Rivera, who made the announcement today, said:
"This was about what Sam did. Jacoby has been a true pro and done
everything asked, and he's also helped mentor Sam. He's a more than viable
quarterback. But there were certain things Sam had to show us, and everybody
knew from my perspective it was Sam's to lose, and he did nothing to lose
it."
