December 3 – The Saudi Pro League (SPL) has deepened its partnership with Stats Perform, adding new performance insights and data solutions via Opta and OptaAI.
The expanded agreement will give top-flight Saudi clubs, as well as the league’s media and digital teams, access to advanced tools for on-field analysis as well as content for fan and sponsor engagement.
At the heart of the partnership is OptaAI-powered Opta Vision, Stats Perform’s most comprehensive performance data offering. This technology will be put to use on every Saudi Pro League, King’s Cup, and Super Cup match.
The league said the move underscores its commitment to being the top league across the AFC’s member associations. A claims Japan’s J-League, China’s Super League and Korea’s K-League might dispute.
Omar Mugharbel, CEO, Saudi Pro League said: “The Saudi Pro League has established itself as a leading force in football across Asia, recognised as the top AFC domestic competition. Aided by strategic partnerships, including our collaboration with Stats Perform, we harness innovative data solutions like live Opta feeds and AI-powered Opta Vision data to enhance club performance analysis and scouting. This commitment to excellence drives our clubs’ competitive edge and enriches fans ensuring the SPL continues to set new standards with its partners in delivering unforgettable football experiences to a global audience.”
Stats Perform’s Chief Revenue Officer, Steve Xeller, added: “We are delighted that the Saudi Pro League are the latest to expand their use of our services to include OptaAI-powered solutions. Our people, including our dedicated team in the region, will continue to work tirelessly to help ensure the SPL and its clubs continue to go from strength-to-strength, on the field and off it, for the benefit of their growing audience of millions of global fans.”
