        Event Details

        In this special SOLIDWORKS Live pregame experience, we break down the hidden layer behind every pass, shot, and goal, using simulation to reveal what most fans never see.

        From the evolution of the ball itself, to the physics behind a bending shot, to the real-time systems that determine whether a goal actually counts, this episode uncovers how engineering shapes the modern game.

        🔍 In this episode:

        ⚽ How footballs have evolved over time, and why small design changes make a massive impact
        🌀 The physics of curve: what’s really happening when a shot bends mid-air
        🌬️ How aerodynamics, spin, and surface design influence ball behavior
        📡 Inside today’s match balls: tracking systems, sensors, and split-second decisions
        🧠 How simulation helps engineers (and players) understand the moments that define the game

        Featuring insights from SOLIDWORKS experts and special guests, this pregame show connects engineering theory to real-world play, all before kickoff.

        By the end, you won’t just be watching the game…you’ll be seeing it differently.
