Stats Perform to Deliver Football Analytics Course with Birkbeck University
Stats Perform, in collaboration with the Birkbeck University, is going to deliver a football analytics module as part of the institution’s Sport Management and Business of Football MSc. This is the second academic year in which Stats Perform is collaborating with the Birkbeck University of London.
The academically accredited module will start on 28 April. It will run for eleven weeks and conclude on July 7. In light of the current global situation, each session will be delivered online by experienced industry professionals possessing first-hand experience of implementing data and analytical processes within the sport.
“Having devised and successfully delivered the first edition of this course in 2019, we are delighted to be continuing our collaboration with Birkbeck to outline the core fundamentals around football analytics,” Stats Perform’s Ben Mackriell said.
“Since delivering last year’s course, the application of applied analytics has continued to evolve as new concepts generated through AI and Machine Learning have been introduced. This remote course can provide both students and industry practitioners with an ideal opportunity to obtain insights which can provide a foundation for them to further understand and apply these concepts throughout their future careers,” Ben Mackriell added.
“I am very happy to be continuing this partnership with Stats Perform. The creation of this module has allowed our institution to enlarge its curricula and the fact that we partner with Stats Perform is a validation of the quality of our work,” Giambattista Rossi, Lecturer at Birkbeck University, said.
“We are currently faced with unprecedented challenges in delivering our academic programme and I am delighted that Stats Perform have committed to delivering each of the module sessions remotely to our enrolled MSc students. With each lecture being delivered by an expert in football analytics, possessing relevant industry experience, we will continue to be able to provide the perfect teaching and studying environment to the students,” Giambattista Rossi added.

Casino Guru has started its final evaluation phase for the Casino Guru Awards 2026, with winners set to be announced on May 25 at Xara Lodge in Malta, ahead of the NEXT Valletta conference.
The company said nominations have closed and shortlists are finalized, with the Casino Guru team now reviewing shortlisted nominees’ track records through judge discussions and meetings with candidates. Winners are selected using what Casino Guru describes as a mix of data-led evaluation and expert assessment, drawing on its Safety Index and Complaint Resolution Center.
Public voting remains open for the Player’s Choice and Voice of the People categories, giving players and industry stakeholders a direct vote alongside the judging process.
“The Casino Guru Awards are not about who is the biggest or most visible,” said Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Projects Director from Casino Guru. “They are about who is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.”
Casino Guru expects around 150 guests at the Malta event, which it positioned as an industry networking evening alongside the awards announcements.
