SkillCorner is delighted to announce a new three-year partnership with one of Europe’s most prestigious and successful clubs: Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
Through this partnership, the 38-time Portuguese champions will have access to SkillCorner’s XY Tracking Data, Physical Data and Game Intelligence contextual data, which in total covers more than 100 leagues and competitions and tens of thousands of players worldwide.
This will enable Benfica to comprehensively analyse players’ physical, technical, and tactical performance both on and off the ball using advanced metrics developed by SkillCorner, while also allowing the club to create custom metrics from tracking data at scale. Having access to this data will help Benfica to efficiently identify, benchmark and analyse players from around the world with the potential to match the club’s footballing requirements.
The collaboration demonstrates Benfica’s commitment to innovation and using the most advanced data available to maintain their record as one of the most successful operators in the global football recruitment market.
Pedro Nogueira, Business Development Manager at SkillCorner, said:
“Although SkillCorner already works with many of the world’s leading clubs, it is exciting to reach this agreement with a club of Benfica’s history and prestige. The most successful clubs are always looking to innovate, and Benfica joins a growing list of clubs embracing the use of tracking data to support their decision-making in scouting, recruitment and analysis. We look forward to seeing the continued success this collaboration will bring.”
