El Sevilla FC apuesta por la tecnología de InjuryPro, spin-off de la UCAM, en la prevención de lesiones

El Sevilla FC e InjuryPRO – XAI Solutions (IPS), nueva spin-off de la Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM), han alcanzado un acuerdo de colaboración para avanzar en la aplicación de la inteligencia artificial a uno de los grandes retos del fútbol profesional: la prevención de lesiones. La alianza permitirá trabajar con la tecnología desarrollada por InjuryPRO en un entorno deportivo real y avanzar en su validación y adaptación a las necesidades de un club de élite.

InjuryPRO utiliza Inteligencia Artificial Explicable para identificar patrones asociados al riesgo de lesión, con una capacidad predictiva superior al 90 %, y aportar al staff información útil para anticiparse en la toma de decisiones. El reto es también económico: las lesiones pueden generar un impacto de hasta 180 millones de euros por temporada en LaLiga, mientras que estudios sobre la competición española han cifrado en 365.811 euros mensuales por club el coste salarial medio asociado a determinadas lesiones musculares.

El acuerdo conecta dos ámbitos cada vez más próximos en el deporte profesional: la investigación científica y la capacidad de los clubes para generar grandes volúmenes de datos sobre sus jugadores. En este marco, InjuryPRO aplicará su tecnología en el entorno de rendimiento del club, convirtiendo la información generada en el día a día en conocimiento útil para identificar situaciones de mayor riesgo y apoyar la toma de decisiones del staff.

La colaboración refuerza la apuesta del Sevilla FC por la innovación, la tecnología y la transferencia de conocimiento junto a universidades y centros de investigación, al tiempo que supone la puesta de largo de InjuryPRO como nueva spin-off de la UCAM, llevando al fútbol profesional una tecnología surgida de años de investigación científica.

Un problema deportivo con un impacto millonario

La prevención de lesiones se ha convertido en un factor estratégico para los clubes, no solo desde el punto de vista de la salud y el rendimiento del jugador, sino también por su impacto deportivo y económico.

La dimensión económica de las lesiones está ampliamente documentada en el fútbol profesional. En España, un estudio realizado sobre los 20 clubes de Primera División durante la temporada 2018/19 contabilizó 270 lesiones musculares de miembro inferior y 964 partidos perdidos, estimando un coste salarial medio de 365.811 euros mensuales por club. El mismo trabajo puso de manifiesto la dimensión competitiva del problema, al relacionar una mayor disponibilidad de jugadores y una menor carga de lesiones con mejores resultados deportivos (Nieto-Torrejón et al., PLOS ONE, 2021). Otras estimaciones reflejan también la magnitud económica del problema: el coste de las lesiones puede alcanzar los 265 millones de euros por temporada en la Premier League y los 180 millones en LaLiga, con un impacto aproximado de 9 millones de euros por club en la competición española.

Es precisamente sobre este reto donde actúa InjuryPRO. La compañía nace de la investigación desarrollada en el Centro de Investigación en Alto Rendimiento Deportivo de la UCAM (CIARD-UCAM), dirigido por el Catedrático en Ciencias del Deporte, el Dr. Pedro Emilio Alcaraz, y de la colaboración tecnológica con AyGLOO, especializada en inteligencia artificial.

Su plataforma integra información procedente de sensores GPS, cargas de entrenamiento, historial de lesiones, percepción del esfuerzo, indicadores de bienestar, fuerza y otros biomarcadores para identificar patrones relacionados con un aumento del riesgo de lesión. Los resultados obtenidos durante el desarrollo del proyecto sitúan su capacidad predictiva por encima del 90 %.

Su mejora principal está, sin embargo, en que no se limita a generar una alerta. InjuryPRO emplea Inteligencia Artificial Explicable (XAI) para mostrar qué factores están influyendo en cada predicción y analizar cómo determinados cambios podrían modificar el riesgo estimado. El objetivo no es sustituir el criterio de médicos, preparadores físicos o entrenadores, sino proporcionarles una nueva capa de información para decidir: el modelo informa, el staff decide.

Pedro Emilio Alcaraz y José María Cruz Gallardo firmando el acuerdo de colaboración

Cuando la investigación llega al terreno de juego

Para el Sevilla FC, esta colaboración se enmarca en su estrategia de innovación aplicada al fútbol y en su apuesta por incorporar conocimiento procedente de la investigación, la tecnología y el ámbito universitario a los procesos del club.

“Desde la estructura de dirección del club siempre se ha tenido claro que tenemos que apoyarnos en otras empresas y en universidades, que son los centros de conocimiento, para seguir en un proceso de mejora y de actualización permanente de todos los avances que nos puedan ayudar a ir creciendo. En este caso, confluye todo.

Confluye la universidad, confluye una empresa, una spin-off que se está gestando en ella y, además, en este caso, la universidad tiene nombre y apellidos, que es la UCAM, una universidad con la que desarrollamos muchísimos proyectos muy exitosos y que tiene un prestigio internacional, especialmente, específicamente, en todas las ramas del deporte”. – José María Cruz Gallardo, responsable de Innovación Deportiva del Sevilla FC.

Para InjuryPRO, el acuerdo supone un paso decisivo desde la investigación hacia su aplicación en el mercado y en el fútbol profesional.

“InjuryPRO es una herramienta basada en inteligencia artificial que surge de una spin-off de la UCAM y que busca predecir lesiones en fútbol profesional. Por eso estamos aquí hoy en Sevilla, porque uno de los clubes que va a colaborar en el desarrollo de la prueba de concepto es el Sevilla.

Pensamos que el trabajo que se está haciendo en innovación y desarrollo en Sevilla tiene una transferencia directa a este proyecto. Por lo tanto, pensamos que es un socio y un aliado ideal para InjuryPRO y estamos seguros de que esta herramienta va a ser el referente en el futuro y va a servir precisamente para predecir y reducir las lesiones en fútbol profesional y ayudar sobre todo a nuestros jugadores para que tengan una carrera mucho más longeva y más éxito”. – Pedro Emilio Alcaraz, CEO de InjuryPRO, director del Centro de Investigación en Alto Rendimiento Deportivo de la UCAM y catedrático de Entrenamiento de Fuerza y Nutrición Deportiva

El nacimiento de InjuryPRO representa también el modelo de transferencia que impulsa la UCAM a través de su Oficina de Transferencia de Conocimiento y UCAM HiTech: transformar resultados científicos generados en la Universidad en nuevas empresas de base tecnológica y soluciones capaces de responder a necesidades reales de la sociedad.

Con el Sevilla FC como aliado en esta nueva etapa, InjuryPRO da así el salto del laboratorio al césped, con un objetivo concreto: que los datos que el fútbol profesional ya genera puedan convertirse en mejores decisiones para proteger al jugador, optimizar su disponibilidad y reducir el impacto de las lesiones evitables.

Sevilla FC and Yongin FC sign collaboration agreement to promote training and sporting development

Sevilla FC and Yongin FC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) last Tuesday, 22 September, at the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios, laying the foundations for a strategic collaboration between the two organisations. The ceremony was attended, on behalf of Sevilla FC, by Jesús Olivera, Data Analyst, and Daniel del Valle, Academy Analysis Coordinator, and, on behalf of the Korean club, by Lee Dong-gook, Sporting Director of Yongin FC and former Korean footballer. The agreement recognises the value of the knowledge and methodology developed by Sevilla FC.

Yongin FC is the first professional club from the South Korean city of Yongin. Founded in January 2026, the club currently competes in K League 2.

Talent identification and development.

Sevilla FC will assist Yongin FC in improving its processes for the detection, identification and development of young talent through the transfer of the club’s knowledge and working methodology.

Player development programmes in Seville.

The agreement includes short, intensive programmes in Seville for groups of young Yongin FC players. Through these training experiences within the Sevilla FC environment, participants will have the opportunity to improve their skills and overall football development.

Coaches and staff development.

Both organisations will be able to organise online training programmes for Yongin FC coaches and technical staff, as well as short, intensive in-person workshops in both Yongin and Seville. These activities will focus on methodology, training and the professional development of the coaching staff.

Sports Management and R&D.

Sevilla FC will collaborate with Yongin FC in the creation and structuring of its own sporting management processes and will support the development of an Research and Development (R&D) Unit, taking the Sevilla FC model as a reference. The aim is to adapt this knowledge to the specific structure and needs of the Korean club.

An agreement that strengthens the ties between both cities.

The signing comes almost one year after the mayors of Seville, José Luis Sanz, and Yongin, Lee Sang-il, signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the two cities at FIBES during the 2025 Tourism Innovation Summit. That agreement, which has an indefinite term, aims to strengthen institutional cooperation in tourism, culture, technological innovation, urban development and the environment.

With this agreement, Sevilla FC strengthens its international presence and its commitment to training and knowledge transfer within the football industry.

Sevilla FC and Carlos V Education join forces to promote the education of international players

Moving to a new country involves an adaptation process for any player that goes far beyond the football pitch. Language, culture and the surrounding environment are also part of their experience as a footballer. For this reason, since the 2024/2025 season, Sevilla FC has maintained a partnership with Carlos V Education, a centre specialising in language teaching and international education programmes.

Through this partnership, Sevilla FC’s international players have the opportunity to take Spanish courses, adapted to their needs and their integration process in the city and at the club. Each season, between 10 and 15 international footballers attend classes at Carlos V Education to improve their language skills.

This training is also particularly relevant during the integration process of players arriving from other countries. Carlos V Education offers services including visa management and student support, as well as different Spanish language programmes at its headquarters in Seville.

Language training thus becomes another tool in the players’ adaptation process, helping them communicate in their daily lives and integrate both into the dressing room and their new surroundings.

Carlos V Education’s headquarters in Seville, located in Los Remedios, is also accredited by the Instituto Cervantes for teaching Spanish as a foreign language and offers Spanish programmes across different formats and levels.

This partnership reflects Sevilla FC’s commitment to the comprehensive education of its players, supporting them beyond the football pitch and providing tools that contribute to their personal, academic and professional development.

Sevilla FC and Carlos V Education continue working together to ensure that language also becomes a tool for integration and growth for footballers arriving in Nervión from different parts of the world.

Sevilla FC Hosts the second transnational meeting of the European BIO-AGE 2.0 Project

A High-level technical and scientific meeting.

The first day began with a project status presentation and an online session on the BIO-BANDING Tournament, delivered by German partner Borussia Dortmund. This was followed by a central session led by the Polish Football Association (PZPN), consisting of both a presentation and a practical workshop under the title “Player-Centered Approach in the Polish Football Association Development System.” The session explored current challenges in youth football, differences between early and late maturation, and practical tools to help coaches manage maturational diversity within their squads.

The afternoon was especially significant for the host club. Sevilla FC presented its talk “Player Development at Sevilla FC: 26 Years of Experience and Evolution,” delivered by Julián Andrés Cabrera and Mercedes Valiente. The presentation highlighted the depth of Sevilla FC’s player development model and its ability to adapt to the various stages of individual and collective player growth. The day concluded with a visit to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.

Second Day: Recommendations, behaviour models, and next steps.

The second day focused on consolidating the consortium’s collective work. Warta Poznań and Hannover 96 presented progress regarding the psychological aspects of developing players with different maturation rates. Afterwards, the consortium worked on recommendations and case studies for the practical guide aimed at coaches, one of the project’s key deliverables.

MSH Medical School Hamburg presented the application of the COM-B Model as a framework for identifying entry points for implementing biological maturation into daily football practice. The meeting concluded with a planning session covering upcoming tasks and timelines for the coming months, before participants visited Sevilla FC’s training facilities.

The role of the Innovation Center.

Hosting TPM2 in Seville further strengthens the role of Sevilla FC’s Innovation Center as a European hub for innovation in youth football development. The club not only participates as an active partner throughout all three project phases — methodology, implementation, and dissemination — but also contributes its own expertise accumulated over decades of player development work, backed by tangible results in professional football.

BIO-AGE 2.0 promotes a fairer and more inclusive talent identification and development model, in which biological maturation — rather than chronological age alone — guides decisions related to selection, training, and scouting. This approach naturally aligns with the philosophy of the Innovation Center: science-based innovation applied to real football environments.

The project will continue until 2028. The next transnational meeting will take place soon, according to the consortium’s agreed schedule.

More information about the project: bio-age.eu
