Geekplus and Soccer.com Deliver Winning Logistics as Club World Cup Reaches Final Stages
Soccer.com's Geekplus-powered warehouse now processes up to 70,000 units daily during peak season—more than double its non-peak volume—while achieving 99.9% picking accuracy. The system's agility ensures timely deliveries as fans rush to support their favorite teams.
Key Highlights:
'When your team wins, you want their jersey now—not next week,' said Brent Shotwell, Production Manager at Soccer.com. 'Geekplus robotics help us deliver that excitement faster, while keeping our operations scalable for the next big tournament.'
'This project exemplifies how smart robotics are transforming U.S. retail logistics,' added Lit Fung, Head of International Business and Managing Director Americas at Geekplus. 'With the Club World Cup in full swing, we're showcasing how automation meets passion—powering the supply chain behind the sports we love.'
The PopPick system has revolutionized Soccer.com's operations. Previously, staff manually walked aisles with push carts. Now, robots bring shelves directly to workers, enabling efficient consolidation of multi-item orders—jerseys, jackets, cleats, and more—into single shipments. In 2024 alone, the warehouse put away and picked 4 million units of both custom and non-custom apparel.
Looking ahead to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Soccer.com is preparing for a surge. 'With the U.S., Mexico, and Canada qualifying as hosts, we expect demand to increase tenfold,' said Shotwell. 'Thanks to Geekplus automation, we're confident in our ability to scale and deliver official match gear faster than ever.'

Top EU court rules that soccer governing body FIFA's decisions can be challenged outside Switzerland
BRUSSELS — The European Union's top court ruled on Friday that the decisions of world soccer's governing body FIFA can be challenged outside Switzerland, opening up a system that currently binds athletes, officials and clubs to accept verdicts there. A statement from the European Court of Justice said that tribunals in the 27 EU member states 'must be able to carry out an in-depth review of those awards for consistency with the fundamental rules of EU law.' The ECJ ruling means that EU national courts should be able to review verdicts from the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Switzerland is not a member of the European Union. The decision could end a decade-long legal fight by Belgian soccer club RFC Seraing and Maltese investment fund Doyen Sports. They opposed FIFA rules prohibiting third-party ownership of a player's registration and transfer rights, and in 2015 asked a commercial court in Brussels to review if those rules breached EU law. ___ AP soccer:
