Of course, the clothing mentioned above manufacturer did not start building stationary sports grounds. The company approached this issue with fantasy, it decided to turn any free spaces on the streets of the cities into such ones – supermarket parking, pedestrian streets and squares, courtyards, etc.

The program #MiPista is being implemented on the basis of a small minivan that can easily move from place to place. This minibus is equipped with a special laser system, which in the evening projects a football field onto a plane of any size. And on the sports field formed in a matter of seconds, people can play their favorite game.

Moreover, the departure of such a football minivan is completely free.

And the Adidas MiCoach Elite program will, of course, process all this information.

Not only athletes, organizers, and judges, but also the audience should have access to modern technologies at the stadium. Understanding this, the San Francisco 49ers American Football team is building the Santa Clara Stadium. It will have 69,000 seats for visitors. The Stadium, after construction is completed, will become a sports arena with the highest Wi-Fi coverage in the world.
