Multi-Year Deal Gives Stats Perform Official Rights to Collect and Distribute Match Data to Media and Technology Partners

DIMAYOR (Colombia Official League) has agreed to a new extended partnership with Stats Perform, the sports tech leader in data and AI, as its official data provider. The new three-year deal will see Stats Perform collect and manage Opta data from the Primera División, Second Division and Domestic Cup.

Stats Perform’s Opta data will support DIMAYOR and their partners in creating unique experiences for their audiences across media, brands and sponsors. DIMAYOR ’s continued alignment with Stats Perform reinforces the professional league’s commitment to ensuring that 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.

Detailed data will be delivered through an extensive range of Opta data feeds, with Stats Perform’s highly visual, easily customisable widgets providing data-powered solutions for use across digital and social platforms, before, during and after the action.
Opta data and statistics will power DIMYOR’s social channels, where they will help determine the week’s top performing players (for the team of the week) and inform and empower fans.

Using industry-leading AI and machine learning, and 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.
