Sport Club Internacional, who famously won the FIFA Club World Cup in 2006, will be using SkillCorner’s Physical Data to support its scouting and recruitment activity.
Internacional will have access to multiple seasons of Physical Data from 14 leagues across South America, North America and Europe, providing the club’s analysts with the ability to quickly and accurately benchmark the physical capabilities of thousands of players.
In addition to Physical Data, Internacional will also have access to SkillCorner’s XY Tracking and Game Intelligence contextual data. These data will let the club gain an even deeper level of insight into the movement, decision-making and playing style of recruitment targets and opponents.
Eduardo Seligman, Data Scientist at Internacional, said:
“In such a competitive environment as Brazilian football, it is important to have access to anything that can help us to make good decisions, especially when it comes to scouting new players. I am very confident that SkillCorner’s data will help us to do that, and add a new level of insight to how we analyse players and opponents.”
Pedro Nogueira, Business Development Manager at SkillCorner, said:
“In Brazil, the most innovative clubs are increasingly recognizing the importance of data, and it’s truly gratifying to witness this growing awareness. We are thrilled that Internacional are placing their trust in SkillCorner.”
