Conmebol Names Stats Perform As Official Data Partner
CONMEBOL, the governing body of soccer on the continent, has agreed to a new partnership with Stats Perform, the revolutionary leader in sports AI and data, as its official data provider. The four-year deal will see Stats Perform exclusively collect and manage data from the most important competitions in Latin America, including Copa CONMEBOL America, CONMEBOL Libertadores, CONMEBOL Sudamericana and CONMEBOL Recopa.
CONMEBOLâs alignment with Stats Perform reinforces the confederationÂŽs commitment to ensure that the media and technology partners covering the competitions are provided with the highest quality data to bring every match to life for fans around the world. Through the partnership, Stats Perform will work with CONMEBOL and their partners (including broadcast partner, MediaPro) to create unique experiences which inform and empower their audiences across traditional broadcast channels (including FOX Sports and Globo), OTT platforms (including DAZN and Facebook), digital media, brands, sponsors, fantasy games and more.
Detailed data will be delivered through an extensive range of feeds, providing the raw detail required to power broadcast graphics, automated highlights, fantasy experiences, digital match centres and much more. Stats Performâs highly visual, easily customisable widgets provide data-powered solutions for use across digital and social platforms, before, during and after the action.
Extensive preview packs will be created by Stats Performâs editorial team and made available ahead of all CONMEBOL competitions and matches. These packs serve a variety of functions, including the production of data-driven match previews or to support broadcast operations and commentators. The team will also produce the CONMEBOL ranking system ahead of the Libertadores draw for the next four years, starting in 2019.
Innovation continues to be at the forefront of every Stats Perform partnership, with artificial intelligence (AI) and data science teams building upon the companyâs established advanced metrics, including Expected Goals (xG), Expected Assists (xA), Sequences, Playing Styles and more to elevate media analysis and fan engagement. Using industry-leading AI and machine learning, delivered through their global sales network, Stats Perform will continue to bring rich data insights and storytelling to enhance the way football is understood and experienced.
Stats Perform is committed to the growth of CONMEBOLâs competitions in South America and globally through data, content and distribution. This deal is yet another milestone in Stats Performâs commitment to support the expansion of the sport across the globe, with the company already holding partnerships with the Premier League, La Liga, MLS, U.S. Soccer, NWSL and the Eredivisie.
Alex Rice â Chief Right Officer, Stats Perform, said: âWeâre delighted to announce that we will be CONMEBOLâs Official Data Partner. This partnership will see us working closely with CONMEBOL to deliver the best quality data, giving the competition control of their data rights and access to Stats Performâs expertise and sales network.â
Juan Emilio Roa, Commercial Director of CONMEBOL, said: âThrough our new partnership with Stats Perform, we have access to the biggest sports AI and data provider to help expand our exposure worldwide. Through this partnership, our broadcast and media providers will have access to detailed information about each match, team and player, which will provide more compelling stories and insights for fans.

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator: Largest Content Hub Certified in Brazil
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the worldâs largest game providers â Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.Â
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: âAccording to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesnât stop here â we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer âthe sleeping giantâ. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.â
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 â ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20â22 January, at stand 2G42.
