SPORTRADAR STRIKES FIRST EVER EXCLUSIVE BETTING DATA RIGHTS AGREEMENT WITH UEFA

Sportradar, a leading global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors, today announced that the Company will serve as UEFA’s exclusive authorized collector and distributor of data for betting purposes, as well as extending its role as UEFA’s official integrity partner.

Sportradar secured the exclusive landmark agreement following UEFA’s first competitive tender process for its data distribution rights for betting purposes. The agreement covers 1,550 matches from the 2021/22 season through to the end of the 2023/24 season across all UEFA properties including UEFA EURO 2024, the European Qualifiers, the UEFA Nations League, the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Women’s Champions League and UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, Under-21s and UEFA Futsal Champions League and UEFA Futsal EURO Championship.

The announcement comes as European football’s governing body seeks to maximise the value of its match data and drive deeper engagement worldwide with football fans. Through its global network of more than 900 bookmaker clients, Sportradar provides access to football fans in 120 different countries worldwide.

Carsten Koerl, Chief Executive Officer of Sportradar, said: “Sportradar has more than 20 years’ experience collecting and building valuable products from football match data, and now, as the world’s leading sports technology company, we’re the only organisation with the technological capabilities and unique resources to truly support the growth of one of the biggest federations in global sport.”

As part of this agreement, UEFA and Sportradar will extend their long-standing integrity cooperation, which will now include dedicated Intelligence & Investigation Services to support UEFA’s anti match-fixing unit. Sportradar will also continue to provide UEFA with its robust and proven bet monitoring services to protect the integrity of UEFA and its member associations’ competitions as it has for the last 12 years, to safeguard the sport from match fixing activities.
 
Wow, that's huge news! Sportradar striking an exclusive betting data rights agreement with UEFA means that they'll be the only company authorized to distribute official UEFA betting data. This is a really big deal, as it gives Sportradar a huge competitive advantage in the betting industry. I'm curious to see how this agreement will affect the way people bet on UEFA matches, and whether it will have an impact on the integrity of the games. Do you think this agreement is a good thing for the sport?
