The Handball Federation of Nigeria (HFN) today announced the official launch of HFN MatchVision, a new digital platform for live match analysis and video intelligence created to support coaches, referees and statisticians across Nigerian handball.
HFN MatchVision brings together real-time event recording, video review, tactical tools and automated reporting into a single system.
Statisticians can run the Live Match Center to monitor the clock, record goals, shots, fouls, cards and 7-meter shots, and keep the public scoreboard updated in real time, while coaches can upload full match recordings, draw and annotate images, mark key moments and create training clips labeled by attack, defense, goalkeeper or set pieces.
Referees also have a dedicated space to review incidents, cards and 7M decisions and generate reports. Once a match is over, MatchVision automatically writes a performance report that can be exported as a professional PDF complete with scoreboard, team statistics, leaders, events, scores and clips for clubs, coaches and officials.
The platform also powers a public live results page, giving fans and officials real-time access to ongoing matches.
To commemorate the launch, HFN is offering a one-month free trial to all registered users, who can sign up and select the role that matches their role.
During the launch, the President of the Nigerian Handball Federation, Mr. Jibril Saidu Ojih (FNIQS), described MatchVision as a milestone for the sport in Nigeria:
“HFN MatchVision is a huge step forward for the development of handball in this country. For too long, our coaches, referees and statisticians have had to work without the kind of data and video tools that leading handball nations take for granted.
This platform changes that. “It gives our coaching teams the intelligence they need to make better decisions, develop players faster and referee with greater confidence.”
Ojih also praised the Federation’s ICT team for developing the platform internally:
“I especially want to congratulate our ICT team for this innovation. What they have built rivals what can be found in federations with many more resources, and they did it with a deep understanding of what our coaches and match officials really need on the field of play. This is what happens when talent is given the space to innovate for the good of Nigerian handball.”
The HFN President encouraged all coaches, referees and statisticians affiliated with the Federation to take advantage of the free trial and start using MatchVision for upcoming league and championship matches.
MatchVision is now available. Users can register and explore the platform at https://handballnigeria.info/matchvision, with public live results accessible via the Federation’s live results page.
