StatsBomb Agree Partnership with Borussia Dortmund

StatsBomb are delighted to have agreed a deal to provide their cutting edge data and analytics services to Borussia Dortmund, one of Europe’s most forward-thinking clubs.

Dortmund have signed up to use StatsBomb’s event data –- containing over 3,400 events per game, more than double the amount of other providers -- and IQ analytics software in all sectors of the club, including in their performance, opposition, and recruitment analysis operations. The Bundesliga club will benefit from access to StatsBomb’s deep data, which includes unique metrics such as pressures at a team and player level, pass footedness, pass height and freeze frames, providing detailed defender and goalkeeper location information on every shot.

Ismail Tari, Business Development Lead at StatsBomb, said:

"It’s great to be working with one of Europe’s most renowned and well-managed clubs. Borussia Dortmund have a long history of operating in an intelligent manner and we are excited to join their journey by providing them with access to the best data and analysis tools available."

Kai-Norman Schulz, Head of Sports Technologies at Borussia Dortmund, said:

"We have the ambition to implement as good and innovative solutions as possible in our daily work. We are therefore delighted to be working with StatsBomb, a company that is developing a very interesting event data approach and providing it to us in different ways. We look forward to a hopefully successful cooperation."
