The Mexican professional soccer club, Club de Futbol Monterrey Rayados, has chosen Magnifi by VideoVerse as its video editing solutions provider. Both the Rayados and Rayadas, the club’s professional teams, will employ Magnifi’s platform to efficiently generate highlights from their matches, capturing everything from overtime goals to blocked penalty kicks.

Established in 1945, Rayados competes in Liga MX, the premier division of Mexican soccer. The team boasts numerous Liga MX championships, along with victories in the Copa MX and CONCACAF Champions League. Notably, Rayados has previously represented Mexico in the FIFA Club World Cup, where champions from each continent vie for supremacy.

Rayados holds a historic position in Mexican soccer, and this collaborative effort underscores the significance of AI-generated highlights for the broader sports community.

Everardo Valdez, Director of Institutional and Media Relations and spokesperson for Club de Futbol Monterrey, expressed excitement about utilizing Magnifi to capture pivotal moments from matches played by their men’s and women’s teams.

“We extensively explored AI-based video solutions and ultimately selected Magnifi due to its cutting-edge features. With intelligent ball-tracking and automatic flipping, we can not only create more highlights but also distribute them efficiently across our social media and digital platforms. This widespread presence will position Rayados for optimal growth: Our highlights will reach our fans wherever they are online,” he stated.

In addition to auto-generated highlights, Valdez mentioned that Rayados is considering further innovative applications for Magnifi. For instance, they may use it to enhance documentation of players from the club’s youth academy. Rayados’ visual identity is iconic in Mexican soccer, with their name translating to “striped ones” in English, a reference to the blue and white stripes on the team’s home jerseys.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Rayados, one of Mexico’s most popular soccer teams. We are eager to enhance fan engagement through live highlights, increase viewership, and ultimately drive revenue growth. As trailblazers in the Mexican soccer landscape, Rayados’ adoption of AI-driven video sets a precedent, inspiring other teams to revolutionize player capture and marketing strategies,” remarked Vinayak Shrivastav, CEO of Magnifi. He added, “This is the future of soccer.”

The creation of engaging match videos is made possible through the partnership with TUDN, a key ally of Club de Futbol Monterrey Rayados and the official broadcaster of live matches featuring the Rayados and Rayadas.
