Monumental Stadium is a pioneer in Chile with Facial Recognition

The future of stadium access is already a reality in Chile. In the year it celebrates its centennial, Colo-Colo, one of the most traditional clubs in South American football, is launching a major modernization project at Monumental Stadium in Santiago, Chile. The project developed by Imply® ElevenTickets brings the most modern and up-to-date Facial Recognition access technology to Santiago. More than 100 devices have been installed to enhance the fan experience, providing greater security and smoother flow at the complex, which has a capacity of over 40,000 spectators.

Imply®’s Facial Recognition System uses high-performance algorithms capable of mapping and comparing hundreds of unique biometric points on each face. This processing takes place in less than a second, with an accuracy rate of 99.9%.

In addition to operational agility, the solution raises the security standard of events by linking each ticket individually and non-transferably to its holder, significantly reducing risks such as fraud and unauthorized resales. Integrated with the club’s systems, facial biometric registration is carried out online at the time of purchase. As a result, entry flow becomes more efficient and the fan experience smoother, using one’s own face as an access credential.

“It is with pride that Imply® ElevenTickets takes part in the celebration of Colo-Colo’s 100th anniversary. The modernization of Monumental Stadium with Imply® Facial Recognition reinforces the club’s commitment to innovation while also delivering a significant advancement in technology, security, and fan experience. We are honored to contribute so that Colo-Colo’s centennial is also a milestone of innovation,” states Tironi Paz Ortiz, CEO and Founder of Imply Tecnologia.

Imply® Facial Recognition: innovation that redefines stadium access

Imply® Facial Recognition integrates high-precision cameras with advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to identify individuals through their unique biometric characteristics. The solution reads multiple facial points and matches them against a previously registered database, authorizing entry automatically. Without the need for printed tickets, QR codes, or physical cards.

With virtually instant validation, the system reduces queues and makes access flow much faster and more organized. Fans enter the stadium in just a few seconds, without needing to present documents on-site, as the entire authentication process takes place in advance at the time of ticket purchase, whether through the website or at ticket offices. This automation ensures greater operational fluidity and a more comfortable experience, especially at large-scale events.

Technological excellence and market leadership

Implemented in some of the most modern stadiums in Latin America, the Imply® Facial Recognition System stands out not only for its accuracy but also for its speed and reliability. Using deep learning algorithms, the technology ensures high performance at every stage, from registration to access authorization. Facial registration is easily completed online, thus offering greater convenience to the public.
