STATSCORE has extended its position as the official data provider of top Polish handball league, ORLEN Superliga.
The extension will see STATSCORE further enhance the level of detail in match data for the Women’s competition. The Polish sports data company will now deploy two dedicated scouts for all women’s games – just as it had already done for the men’s edition.
STATSCORE has been the official data provider for the Men Superliga since the 2017-18 season, and for the Women Superliga since the 2019-20 campaign.
Radosław Firlej, Head of Sports Partnerships at STATSCORE, said: “Maintaining this collaboration with Superliga is a great honour for us. It showcases the trust the league places in our capabilities to deliver accurate and timely data.
“With two scouts at each match, we aim to further boost the quality and depth of our data, giving fans an unparalleled insight into the game.”
The company detailed that ‘extensive statistics are a key element of every good sports show’, stating that fans love to check, compare, and evaluate the numbers achieved by their teams and favourite players.
“Thanks to STATSCORE, they have access to such data in many places,” added Jakub Kowalcze, Communications Manager at ORLEN Superliga. “Our collaboration is now in its sixth season and we are glad that it will continue. Long-term partnerships always bring us numerous benefits.”
The two-scout coverage means that every key incident and moment during the games is ‘meticulously’ recorded and made available to followers of the league. It can be accessed through match centres on the league’s website, mobile app and via TV broadcasts.
This data includes information on the distance from which a goal was scored, the type of action that was played, or the part of the goal in which a shot was directed by the attacking player.
The new season of ORLEN Superliga launched 30 August for the men’s competition, as the women’s teams prepare for their return on 9 September.
In recent weeks, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) also called on STATSCORE to become its lead live data partner.
Under this deal, STATSCORE agreed to provide tracking of real-time events and data analysis across the T20 cricket competition.
