“Our content is driven by data at every level in order to create the best possible experience for fans. A partnership like this enables us to deliver the most innovative and engaging content, to enhance our storytelling capability, and to offer deeper, fresher insights into every match. The better we get at telling the stories of the players and of the matches, the more fans can connect with the game,” says Richard Bayliss, A-League Director of Content.

Detailed data will be delivered through an extensive range of Opta data feeds, with Stats Perform’s highly visual, easily customisable widgets providing data-powered solutions for use across digital and social platforms, before, during and after the action.  

Opta data, statistics and graphics will power the A-Leagues’ social channels to inform and empower fans.

Smart previews, recaps, bios will be created and shared with A-Leagues clubs, broadcasters (including newly announced broadcast partners ViacomCBS) and media ahead of matches, along with Editorial and video wire content.
