From Mysore to Assam: How SportsKPI Produced the Santosh Trophy 2025–26 Final Round for FIFA+
The growth of SportsKPI reflects the rapid evolution of sports technology and broadcasting in India. What started as a sports analytics and broadcasting initiative in Bengaluru has grown into a nationally recognized sports technology company based in Mysuru. In the 2025–26 season, SportsKPI reached a significant milestone—producing the Final Round of the Santosh Trophy in Assam for the global streaming platform FIFA+. This project not only demonstrated SportsKPI’s broadcasting capabilities but also highlighted the role of its Mysuru-based broadcasting studio, which remotely managed key elements of the live production during the championship.
A Journey That Began in Bengaluru
SportsKPI’s journey began in Bengaluru, where the company started as a technology-driven sports analytics and broadcasting venture focused on improving how Indian sport is analysed and presented. Over time, SportsKPI expanded its operations and established its base in Mysuru, where the company now operates from its office equipped with a dedicated broadcasting and production studio. From this Mysuru hub, SportsKPI coordinates analytics operations, live streaming productions, and broadcast workflows for sports events across the country. Assam Hosts the Santosh Trophy Final Round
The 2025–26 Santosh Trophy Final Round took place in Assam, bringing together some of the strongest teams in Indian domestic football.
Matches were played across two key venues in the state:
Dhakuakhana Football Stadium – Dhakuakhana
This venue hosted several important fixtures during the tournament, including the championship final, making it the focal point of the Santosh Trophy’s climax.
Silapathar Football Stadium – Silapathar
Silapathar served as another crucial venue, hosting multiple matches during the final round and helping ensure the smooth progression of the tournament schedule. Together, these venues highlighted Assam’s growing presence as a host for national football competitions.
Mysuru: The Remote Broadcast Command Centre
While the matches were played in Assam, a significant portion of the broadcast operations was executed from SportsKPI’s Mysuru broadcasting studio. This remote production setup allowed SportsKPI to manage critical live broadcast components from its headquarters while the on-ground crew handled camera operations and match capture.
From the Mysuru office, the production team controlled several live broadcast elements, including:
- Scoreboard overlay for the FIFA+ broadcast
- On-screen graphics and broadcast visuals
- Match overlays and score updates
- Live stream supervision and technical monitoring
In particular, the scoreboard overlay and graphics package for FIFA+ were executed entirely from the Mysuru studio, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and broadcast-level presentation across every match.
This hybrid model enabled efficient coordination between the on-field production teams in Assam and the studio team in Mysuru.
Delivering a Global Broadcast Experience
Producing matches for FIFA+ required SportsKPI to meet strict international broadcast standards.
To achieve this, the team deployed a professional multi-camera production setup combined with centralized broadcast control from Mysuru.
The production included:
- Professional multi-camera match coverage
- High-definition broadcast feeds
- Live scoreboard overlays and graphics
- Real-time stream monitoring
This integrated setup ensured that every match of the Santosh Trophy Final Round was delivered smoothly to viewers around the world on FIFA+.
A Two-City Production Team
The success of the tournament broadcast was the result of coordinated efforts between two production teams. In Assam, SportsKPI’s field crew handled camera operations, match coverage, and venue-level technical workflows.
Meanwhile, the Mysuru studio team managed the graphics systems, scoreboard overlays, and broadcast monitoring that powered the live streams. Despite being separated by thousands of kilometres, both teams operated as a single production unit—ensuring seamless broadcast delivery throughout the tournament.
Why This Milestone Matters
Producing the Santosh Trophy Final Round for FIFA+ represents an important milestone for both SportsKPI and Indian sports broadcasting.
Elevating Domestic Football Coverage
The Santosh Trophy is one of the most historic football tournaments in India. Broadcasting it globally through FIFA+ brings greater visibility to state and institutional football.

Final Thoughts
The Santosh Trophy 2025–26 Final Round was more than just another tournament production—it was a demonstration of how modern sports broadcasting can connect venues, cities, and audiences seamlessly. With cameras capturing the action in Assam and broadcast operations running from the Mysuru studio, SportsKPI delivered a production model that reflects the future of sports broadcasting in India.
