Stats Perform Extends Partnership as Official Data Supplier for Chinese Super League

The top-tier Chinese football league has renewed its collaboration with the prominent sports analytics company, Stats Perform. This extended, multi-year contract ensures that Stats Perform retains its position as the official data supplier for the league, meticulously documenting all on-field occurrences.

Under this agreement, Stats Perform will deploy its advanced SportVU system across all league venues. This technology will furnish the league with exceptionally granular and precise data, capturing the game’s nuances with pinpoint accuracy. Stats Perform will hold exclusive access to this tracking data, which will be integrated with their celebrated “Opta” event data. This powerful fusion will drive richer insights and projections for broadcasts and online platforms, encompassing every facet of the match – pre-game, live action, and post-match analysis.

To further elevate the spectator experience, the partnership will also leverage Stats Perform’s groundbreaking “Pressbox Graphics” tool. This application utilizes Opta data to automatically produce captivating visuals and animations, adding another layer to how supporters engage with the league.

Alex Rice, Chief Rights Officer at Stats Perform, conveyed his excitement, remarking, “We are thrilled to strengthen our bond with the CSL. We firmly believe that data is paramount for stakeholders to craft innovative and compelling experiences for fans.”

This agreement signifies a continuation of the fruitful alliance between Stats Perform and the CSL, initially established in 2016. With this latest development, the collaboration is poised for continued success in the years ahead.

Rice continued, “Enthusiasts of the CSL are in for a real spectacle! The information from Opta is unparalleled, originating from the most trustworthy authority in the field. This will completely transform their enjoyment of the sport.”

“From a career standpoint, I’m delighted we can provide coaches with state-of-the-art visual assessment resources. Picture this: having the ability to observe precisely how athletes are executing and utilizing that to facilitate their development. This is revolutionary!”
