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.

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.

Stakeâs Latam leadership team smashes glass ceiling; sweeps awards
Stakeâs Diana Margarita Otalora has been crowned Leader of the Year at the 2024 SBCâs Latinoamerica awards.
The October award win was the perfect way to mark the one-year anniversary of Stakeâs operation in Colombia, which has led the operatorâs ambitious expansion plans in Latam.
The victory for Diana, who is GM for Latam as well as the operatorâs Colombia country manager, is proof that Stakeâs strategy to hire the best talent available in each territory is paying off.
Dianaâs team was recently strengthened by the addition of Peruvian country manager Jennyfer Escobar, who helped to secure Stakeâs licence in Peru as a result of the operatorâs progressive recruitment policy.Â
âAt Stake, we want to appoint the best people for the role. Our ambition is nothing less than to become a leading player in the Latin American sports betting market.â said Otalora.Â
âIt has been rewarding to find those attributes in my fellow Latina leaders, who are pulling together to propel Stake forwards in Latamâs emerging regulated markets.
âWe work hard every day to ensure that gambling in our home countries is both exciting and safe for players, who have come to expect nothing less from Stake over the years.âÂ
In order to complete the Colombian launch, Diana managed the merging of two teams following Stakeâs acquisition of Betfair Colombia, delivering continuity and harmony during what might otherwise have been a challenging integration.Â
Diana has successfully grown the Stake Latm team to more than 35 employees and is continuing to grow.
More internal growth is on the cards as the operator looks to build on Colombia by entering Peru and Brazil, among others in the region.
Luisa Muñoz, Head of Operations, Latam for Stake, said: âUnder Dianaâs leadership, we have launched one of the largest gaming companies in the world in the Colombian market and are now expanding our horizons to all of Latam.Â
âWorking with Diana, I have grown both professionally and personally: professionally, by being able to evolve my role in the organisation from managing the Customer Experience processes to now leading the operation for Latam. Personally, she has guided me, trusted me, empowered me and has opened the way for me to contribute value to the company on a daily basis.
âThis is what true leaders do.âÂ
