This video provides a step-by-step guide for athletes who already own a Statsports GPS tracker and are switching from the old Statsports application to the new Statsports Academy app.

The guide explains the correct migration process, including unpairing the tracker from the old system and completing the initial setup in the new application.

Following these steps ensures a smooth transition, prevents connection issues, and avoids common errors such as “GPS tracker not found.”

This guide is intended for existing Statsports users and should be completed before using the tracker in training or match sessions.

Switching from the Old to the New Statsports App

Step 1 – Prepare the Old App

Open the old Statsports app on your mobile device and turn on the GPS Pod.

In the app, go to the bottom-right menu (three lines) and select Configure Tracker.

⚠️ Important:
The GPS Pod must be powered on and blinking while searching for GPS signal.

If the word Download appears:

• Close both the app and the GPS Pod

• Restart the process from Step 1

Step 2 – Unpair the GPS Pod

Select Unpair tracker / pod.

When a message appears on the GPS Pod:

• Press Confirm using the GPS button

Once the process is completed:

• Turn off the GPS Pod

• Close the old Statsports app

Step 3 – Download the New App

Go to the Play Store or App Store and download the Statsports Academy app.
(The app may appear as Statsports or Statsports Academy, depending on your device.)

Step 4 – App Setup & Squad Access

Open the new app and follow the on-screen setup steps.

⚠️ Important:
When the app asks you to select a SQUAD, enter the code JJ84 and contact the NFA technical team immediately so we can approve your access and allow the setup to continue.

Step 5 – GPS Pod Connection

Turn on the following:

• GPS Pod

• Location

• Wi-Fi

• Bluetooth

All four are required (VERY IMPORTANT).

Wait until:

• The Sync indicator appears

• The indicator turns green (top-right corner)

• Your GPS Pod is visible in the app

Troubleshooting – GPS Not Found

If you see a red indicator or the message GPS tracker not found:

• Close the app

• Turn off the GPS Pod

• Open the app first

• Then turn on the GPS Pod

• Wait until the Sync indicator turns green

This sequence resolves most first-time connection issues.

You’re Ready

Once all steps are completed, your GPS tracker is ready to use for training and match sessions.
