We are excited to see what GeniusIQ will bring to our league in terms of cutting-edge data insights, enhancing not only the fan experience but also providing clubs and coaches with invaluable tools to elevate their performance.”

Chris Catling, Head of Infront Bettor, said: “The appointment of Genius Sports is a testament to Infront and LFP’s shared commitment to innovation. It will enhance both the fan experience whilst also empowering clubs and coaches with tools that drive performance and strategy. The LFP continues to be a dynamic partner and together we are charting a course for the future of football that is both exciting and transformative. Our intention will always be to provide the best technology available to our partners, either in-house or via trusted third parties.”
