contents We present our approach to the FIFA Skeletal Tracking Challenge 2026, which requires estimating 3D world-space poses of soccer players from broadcast video. Our method finetunes SMPLest-X (ViT-H, 687 M parameters) via a stratified clip split, multi-task depth supervision, and broadcast augmentation, paired with a RAFT dense optical flow camera tracker, foot-plane anchoring, and two-pass temporal smoothing. Against the FIFA baseline score of 1.053 on the validation set, SMART achieves 0.647, a 38.6% improvement; on the held-out test set, SMART scores 0.593 (Global MPJPE: 0.324 m, Local MPJPE: 0.054 m).
