With news for 2022, Rivalo announces renewal of Naming Rights for the GOAL Betshow program

A sports betting company, Rivalo continues to invest in innovative actions on the national scene. Now, the bookmaker has just announced the renewal of the Naming Rights of Footballco’s GOAL Betshow program and promises a series of news for a new ‘leave’ of ten episodes.
The new season of the attraction will be shown between April and December, on GOAL platforms, and will continue with a presentation by journalist Bruno Laurence. With an average duration of 45 minutes per episode, GOAL Betshow by Rivalo will have studio recordings, always with the presence of a special guest.
The new season already has confirmed participations from five-time world champion Cafu, journalist Mauro Beting, and other influencers from the Rivalo team. And, the guest personality will be in all blocks of the attraction, which will have monthly editions. Guilherme Bucchi, explains the change from the live format to a program recorded in advance: “The new format will allow us to analyze more matches, choosing the most interesting within each month, and even include other sports”.
The public will be able to check pre-game analyzes and analysis of various sports, covering the main competitions on the planet. Another attraction will be the “review mode”, in which unusual stories from guests and the audience in general will be approached in a relaxed way.
“We are very happy with the new season of GOAL Betshow by Rivalo. The show is a clear evolution of the partnership and content developed in 2021. The essence of GOAL’s BetShow remains the same, but it gains a new home. In this post-pandemic phase, we inaugurated the studio created exclusively for the program, which also has more interactive and dynamic boards, thinking about the GOAL audience”, comments Vanessa Monteiro, Head of Sales at Footballco in Brazil.
The new season of GOAL Betshow by Rivalo will premiere in April and the program will be produced by GOAL. However, it is important to note that Rivalo intends to hold some editions with special themes, such as a program entirely focused on basketball, the Champions League final, the 2022 World Cup, among others.
The purpose of GOAL Betshow by Rivalo is to offer sports betting fans analyses, data, statistics and tips to make more informed decisions when betting on the Rivalo platform. Guilherme emphasizes the importance of promoting an attraction of this type to strengthen the brand with Brazilian fans and bettors: “The Brazilian market is still very new, and we want to show that it is very easy to bet and have fun, using the numbers we normally use in conversations. bar to win with the bets”.

Northern Super League Partners with Stats Perform

Stats Perform, the global leader in sports AI, data and technology, has announced an official data partnership with the Northern Super League (NSL). The partnership will allow world-leading Opta data to be collected live from every NSL league game for the next three years.
Beginning this month, the Northern Super League (NSL) establishes a new era in Canadian sport as the country’s first professional domestic women’s soccer league — an ambitious and transformative initiative co-founded by former Canadian international and Olympic medallist Diana Matheson. Its inaugural season kicks off on April 16 and will feature six teams who have assembled multinational player rosters with extensive club and international experience, including 100-cap Canadian internationals Desiree Scott and Quinn.
Once the action begins, detailed data from every on-ball event, including advanced AI-powered Opta Analytics metrics such as Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA), will be captured and distributed via feeds and Stats Perform products, including OptaAI Studio. This will enable various broadcasters, publishers and rights holders to generate stories and insights throughout the NSL season and provide them straight to the league’s fans in real time.
As part of the agreement, the NSL’s League Office and every NSL club will also have access to Opta Search, part of OptaAI Studio. This will allow their content creators to leverage all Opta data collected during the NSL season in the creation of data-led stories on the stand-out performers, and will help them generate key talking points for publication on official league and club platforms. Opta Search will also empower the NSL’s media team to create a range of data visualizations, including player shot maps and touch maps, to visually illustrate the impact of different players’ on-field performances.
Christina Litz, NSL President, said: “We are thrilled to have Stats Perform on board as our official data partner. When we talk about detailed performance data in soccer, Opta is the gold standard, so we are delighted to have it powering each of our official digital channels. As the season progresses, we want to put the spotlight on all the on-field heroes who emerge and having access to world-class data will help us tell their stories and inspire a new generation of Canadian soccer fans.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Stats Perform has been a huge supporter of expansion leagues around the world, so we are very pleased to be partnering with NSL in the lead-up to their first domestic campaign. Seeing a fully professional women’s soccer league launch in Canada is an incredibly exciting development for the sport in North America and we see considerable potential in working proactively with the League’s Head Office to help the competition grow, using the power of AI and data-led storytelling to build fan communities across the continent.”
