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.

Stats Perform’s 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 Perform’s 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 company’s 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 CONMEBOL’s competitions in South America and globally through data, content and distribution. This deal is yet another milestone in Stats Perform’s 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 – Chief Right Officer, Stats Perform, said: “We’re delighted to announce that we will be CONMEBOL’s Official Data Partner.
