Polish Soccer League Benefits from Expanded Partnership with Stats Perform

Sports data and analysis company Stats Perform has signed a new agreement with Poland’s most prominent professional football league PKO BP Ekstraklasa. The new deal sees an expansion of their current partnership and offers the league extended access to Stats Perform’s Opta data.

The New Agreement Builds Upon the Partnership

Stats Perform has stated that the newly signed agreement is a continuation of the company’s current data partnership with PKO BP Ekstraklasa but substantially builds upon previous arrangements providing much wider access to data and tools. So far, the league made use of live data from all soccer matches, which could bring insightful information to fans via social media and broadcast channels but now expanded features will be available that allows for a more powerful and interactive audience engagement via the league’s mobile app, website and its special game called Lotto Fantasy Ekstraklasa.
