Fine-Tuning YOLO to Watch Soccer Matches

Today we re diving into something really cool: fine-tuning YOLO models for soccer detection. We re going to detect balls, referees, players, and goalkeepers in soccer matches using Ultralytics fine-tuning tools. The popular YOLO models you ll find out there, like Ultralytics YOLOv11, and YOLOX in different sizes, are mostly pre-trained on something called the COCO dataset. What s [ ] The post…
