About Kognia Sports Intelligence

Kognia Sports Intelligence is a Barcelona-based start-up that is redefining how football clubs and federations harness tactical data to improve performance. Delivered through a single feed, our AI-powered platform provides deep, contextual, tactical insights that can support professional football clubs to elevate player development, scout and recruit player, and integrate within performance analysis processes, from academy through to first-team. Kognia blends firsthand expertise from the professional game with world-class artificial intelligence. Our proprietary systems automatically detect, analyse and distribute advanced tactical metrics, integrating event and tracking data to give teams a richer, more actionable understanding of the game. Kognia co-founders Maurici A. Lopez-Felip (CEO) and Henry Harrison (CTO) bring academic excellence along with Maurici's experience within professional football, notably as Head of Research at the Methodology Department at FC Barcelona. Their shared academic experiences studying ecological physics at the University of Connecticut and respective backgrounds have contributed to shaping one of foundational beliefs at Kognia: that soccer can be understood through a principled, systemic lens and our technology can make those AI-driven insights accessible and actionable at scale.
