SciSports signs deals with Sheffield United FC and Montpellier HSC to push the boundaries in player recruitment

Both clubs start working with SciSports’ platform to identify player prospects in an early stage. The SciSports platform brings applicable player insights to the table with powerful intelligence features and easy-to-use search filters. To find the best and most realistic players, the clubs will combine data insights with football expert opinions from now on. SciSports’ platform covers 90,000 players in 244 competitions including advanced features like Player Roles and Contribution Ratings.

With the two new agreements, SciSports is now serving more than ten clubs from the Big Five leagues with football intelligence. The company is proud to work with so many great clubs on reducing risks and objectively supporting decisions in the player recruitment area.

This collaboration proves once again the innovative nature of these clubs.”
