The programme has recently been expanded toinclude the quality evaluation of new football performancemetrics: acceleration, load and technical metrics. These arenot eligible for certification in 2025 but, subject to mutualagreement between the provider and the test institute,they can be included in the reports. This test manual applies to the majority of EPTS types,including Global Positioning Systems (GPS), GlobalNavigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Local PositioningSystems (LPS), Optical Tracking Systems (OTS), LightDetection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems and Real-TimeKinematic (RTK) systems. It outlines the standardisedprocedures for data collection, processing and statisticalanalysis, designed to determine the quality of performancetracking systems used in football. INTRODUCTION The testing methodology relies on three core systems toevaluate EPTS performance metrics: 1.3D motion capture (Vicon):An established criterionsystem to assess football-specific movements(e.g.speed, position, acceleration and technicalmetrics) within a designated capture space onthepitch. 2.Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs):Vicon BlueTrident IMUs as a criterion system for load metricvalidation 3.Pitch survey (total station):Quantity surveyingequipment is used to measure key areas of the pitchto verify system accuracy under match conditions. 02.2.1TESTING VENUE 2.3TEST AREA Testing will be undertaken in a football stadium with pitchdimensions in line with official FIFA regulations. The testarea may be set up in any pitch location, however, wherepossible, the centre of the pitch (see Figure 1) will be usedto give each provider the opportunity to obtain the bestpossible results. The venue must allow sufficient heightfor the installation of infrastructure for optical player andball tracking system cameras. A 40m x 30m area for player and ball tasks (see sections2.6 and 2.7) will be used as the 3D motion capture space.An example of four potential set-up positions for the 3Dmotion capture test area is shown in Figure 1. 2.2PITCH DIMENSIONS TESTPROTOCOL The dimensions and coordinates of known locationson the pitch will be surveyed via a total station for usein subsequent full-pitch analyses. These will be givento providers prior to testing. Providers may also seek todetermine the dimensions by using their own methodology. sensors are used as they are suitable for outdoor capturedue to their water resistance functionality and fittedoptical filter, which attenuates wavelengths of other lightto only capture a specific infrared wavelength. Followingcamera set-up, the system will be calibrated, with the testinstitute verifying that calibration error values are withinacceptable limits (<1mm). Recalibrations will be performedwhere necessary during the test event to account forenvironmental changes (e.g. light and temperature) andcamera shifts (e.g. accidental tripod or camera bump) thatmay affect camera accuracy. 2.4.2Player lower limb tracking 2.3.1Vicon 3D motion capture system set-up Lower limb tracking is used for new metrics for providerscapturing ball and kick metrics. Where relevant, playerlower limb tracking will be captured by the Vicon 3Dmotion capture system by using 26mm x 25mm diameterretro-reflective markers. These markers will be placed onthe participants’ left and right lower limbs prior to testing(see Figure 4). The addition of the lower limb markers, asdepicted in Figure 4, allows joint (i.e. hip, knee and ankle)and limb segment centre (i.e. thigh, shank and foot) positionand speed to be established. Participants will wear customVelcro pants, with markers attached and secured via Velcrobases. Thigh and shank segments will be captured usingsemi-ri
