DUBAI, UAE — (ARAB NEWSWIRE) — Leverage Science & Technologies Ltd.

"iRoboGoalie was built to create excitement and engagement first," said Partha Pemmaraju, Founder and Director at LSTL. "It draws people in, keeps them playing, and works extremely well in entertainment-driven environments. At the same time, because it is built on advanced robotics and real-time vision processing, it naturally becomes a credible training tool as well."
Globally, iRoboGoalie is installed in more than 60 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Brazil, Japan, Serbia, Vietnam, and Turkey. In the Middle East, the system is already deployed in Dubai and has been sold to customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel, with growing interest from operators exploring dealership opportunities.
While entertainment applications account for a significant portion of demand, football clubs and academies also use iRoboGoalie for confidence-building drills, particularly for beginners and young players. The system's consistency and programmability allow coaches to run structured sessions without fatigue, adding professional credibility to its entertainment appeal.
From Dubai, LSTL is also offering iRoboGoalie for event rentals, targeting corporate events, brand activations, and football-themed fan zones. Alongside iRoboGoalie, the company's football portfolio includes smart goalposts and a football ball thrower, with plans to introduce deeper football technologies by leveraging its expertise in robotics, sensing, and sports analytics.
