Powering the Passion of Madrid’s Fiercest Football Family

In the heart of Madrid, beyond the glitz and glamour, there’s a club that beats with the rhythm of its community.

Rayo Vallecano is a club built on grit, heart, and an unwavering connection to its people. That’s why StepOut is proud to announce a collaboration that goes beyond numbers; it’s about fueling the fire of Vallecas, one of football’s most passionate neighbourhoods.

Rayo Vallecano

Football with Soul

Rayo isn’t your typical football club. It’s the club that rises from the streets, driven by its community and undeterred by any odds. They don’t just play football, they live it.

And now, with StepOut’s technology, they’re taking that passion and infusing it with the kind of data that turns determination into domination.

StepOut’s analytics will give Rayo’s players the edge they need to stay ahead. We’re not just delivering cold, hard stats; we’re delivering insights that connect directly to Rayo’s fight-to-the-finish mentality.

It’s about understanding what it takes to win, and then doing it better every time.

A Rich History

Rayo Vallecano’s Journey

Founded in 1924, Rayo Vallecano has always been the embodiment of the underdog spirit. Hailing from the working-class neighborhood of Vallecas, this club has grown from humble beginnings to stand tall in the fiercely competitive landscape of Spanish football. Rayo's journey has been one of resilience, overcoming financial struggles and relegation battles to proudly represent its people. Known for its passionate fans and commitment to social causes, Rayo is more than just a football team—it’s a symbol of solidarity and community pride. This partnership with StepOut only adds to Rayo’s story of perseverance, helping the club evolve while staying true to its roots.

Grit Meets Innovation

For Rayo, this partnership isn’t about technology taking over the game—it’s about enhancing what they already have: a relentless spirit, a fierce loyalty to the badge, and a never-say-die attitude.

StepOut’s data will be a tool for the players to refine their game while staying true to the club’s soul.

We’re here to ensure that the same energy that’s carried Rayo Vallecano to every battle on the pitch now powers their future.

Together, we’re turning raw passion into calculated performance. Watch out, because with StepOut and Rayo Vallecano, the best is yet to come.

StepOut vs Spiideo: Comparing Football Analysis and Performance Platforms

Spiideo and StepOut sit in this space from different starting points. Spiideo brings together automated camera systems, video analysis, live production and data through its wider sports video platform. StepOut works from match footage, using AI to structure what happens on the pitch into football intelligence that can support match analysis, player development, scouting and wider club workflows. For clubs and academies comparing the two, the useful question is less about which platform offers more features and more about how each one fits into the way the organisation captures, analyses and uses football data.

StepOut vs Stats Perform (Opta): Comparing Football Analytics Platforms

StepOut and Stats Perform, through its Opta ecosystem, operate across many of these requirements, but they come from different starting points. StepOut begins with match footage. Its AI-driven workflow turns uploaded video into structured player, team and match information, which can then be used across tactical analysis, player development, scouting and wider football workflows. Stats Perform builds around Opta, one of the industry's most established football data operations. Its current football offering combines event data, tracking, physical information, AI-enriched metrics, recruitment tools, software and APIs. Opta Vision adds continuous positional data for all 22 players, synchronised with event data, across more than 80 competitions.

StepOut vs Driblab: Comparing Football Analytics and Scouting Platforms

Football analytics platforms approach that question from different starting points. Some begin with match footage, some with large statistical databases, while others combine event data, tracking and specialist analysis to build a broader picture of performance. Driblab has built its reputation around football data, advanced analytics and scouting. Its current ecosystem includes Driblab XY for player and team analysis, optical tracking, physical data, Arrigo for combined event and tracking intelligence, Capture for turning uploaded match video into advanced data, Driblab Hub for scouting workflows, and consultancy services. Its platform covers more than 200 competitions and hundreds of thousands of players, with data available through its software, exports and API. StepOut approaches the problem from a different starting point. Its workflow begins with match footage. Clubs upload video, StepOut processes it through computer vision and proprietary machine learning and LLM models, and the resulting player, team and match information is made available through its TMS and wider football ecosystem. The platform extends into tactical analysis, player development, scouting, benchmarking and the Athlete App. The overlap between the two is significant, particularly around performance analysis, scouting and data-driven decision-making. The differences become clearer when looking at how each platform generates, structures and applies football intelligence.
