Spiideo SoccerNet SynLoc 2026

📢 1️⃣ First Edition of the Spiideo SoccerNet SynLoc Challenge! 🚀
Single-Frame World-Coordinate Athlete Detection & Localization (with Synthetic Data)

In collaboration with Spiideo, this challenge tests single-frame world-coordinate athlete localization: detect all players and predict their pitch positions in meters. Using a mix of synthetic + real broadcast data with precise calibration, models must bridge domain gaps across stadiums and cameras. Scored with mAP-LocSim for both detection and localization accuracy.
