  • Match Day calibration of GLT and EPTS system;
  • Monitoring of GLT and EPTS live data;
  • Delivering graphics and virtual replays for GLT and SAO, which will be shared with the TV audience worldwide;

Additional Details:

  • Based on the match assignment, you will either work on GLT or EPTS for that match

What Difficulties Might I Face?
