Anaheim, CA (Thursday, June 5, 2025) – Cal South (California State Soccer Association – South) is pleased to announce an exciting new agreement with XbotGo, the innovative, automated video and technology services organization. The partnership gives XbotGo category exclusivity through the terms of the contract, and recognition as the “Official AI Camera of Cal South”.
XbotGo is the creator of an exciting artificial intelligence (AI)-powered and auto-tracking camera system specifically tailored for sports filming. Their system allows for AI auto-tracking, has a special “FollowMe” mode where camera action can begin with just a simple hand gesture toward the camera, highlight editing, 4K, and live streaming for 20+ sports including soccer.
"We are extremely excited about partnering up with XbotGo. Soccer is a fast-paced sport, with a lot of changes of possession and constant action from all angles, so it makes perfect sense that one needs an equally quick and adept camera tech to properly capture that game action. XbotGo is at the forefront of the current technological boom in sports performance video, and this agreement gives our members immediate access to not only a more affordable camera system but one on the very cutting edge of current technological advances."
