Swiss Football League selects Stats Perform as official data partner
The Swiss Football League (SFL) has become the latest federation to choose Stats Perform as its official data partner. The collaboration, which will run for the next three seasons, will cover both the Super League and the Challenge League.
The SFL selected Stats Perform as their data partner because they wanted their fan experiences to be powered by comprehensive, deep, real-time, accurate statistics and insights – not just basic stats.
Stats Perform’s Opta football API delivers this depth, as well as intuitive tools and expert researchers that provide context and empower the SFL to create more compelling coverage of its teams and players, more easily.
Steve Xeller, chief revenue officer of Stats Perform, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Swiss Football League as their official data provider. We are fortunate to own and operate the powerful Opta football data API that powers rich fan experiences for almost all the world’s top football leagues. I’m especially pleased the SFL have chosen to add PressBox Graphics, Stats Perform’s simple yet powerful visual content solution. It is smart Opta-powered tech to enhance social, news media and broadcasts with brilliant graphics before, during and after games, making it easier to attract and retain fan attention, as well as grow sponsorships.”
Frank Schaffner, chief digital officer of the Swiss Football League, said: “We are excited to embark on this journey with Stats Perform as our official data provider. Stats Perform’s unrivalled Opta data collection, distribution and focus on innovation align perfectly with our vision. Its advanced AI technology and innovative solutions, including PressBox Graphics powered by deep real-time stats, will revolutionise the way we present our games and engage our fans. This partnership signifies our commitment to delivering high-quality experiences and memorable storytelling that enriches the on-field action for our fans, media and sponsorship partners.”
The Swiss Football League official data rights form part of Stats Perform’s extensive official data portfolio which also includes major European leagues, such as the English Premier League, Spanish LaLiga, French Ligue 1, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and numerous other global competitions and sports.
