StatsBomb, the leading provider of advanced football data, has signed a partnership with Real Club Celta of the Spanish Primera División.
Celta, who last year celebrated their 100th anniversary, have initiated an ambitious overhaul of their sporting structure and decision-making processes and have invested in StatsBomb’s data and analysis solutions to strengthen and enhance their workflows.
The Vigo-based club will benefit from StatsBomb's core data product, with 3,400+ events per match in 140+ global competitions, including unique metrics such as pressures at a team and player level, in addition to advanced models such as On-Ball Value (OBV), xPass and StatsBomb xG that provide relevant and high-quality information to decision makers.
The club will also have access to StatsBomb IQ, the advanced analysis and scouting platform, allowing them to improve and streamline their processes around talent identification, opposition analysis and internal performance tracking.

"It is my pleasure to welcome Real Club Celta, a historic club that has left its mark on Spanish football, in a collaboration that will help them achieve their objectives of consolidation and growth in the coming seasons. Their investment in StatsBomb is just one of many decisions suggestive of a serious and interesting project.
"From the first contact, they have displayed clarity in their ideas and intentions, and have shown a great understanding of the value our data can provide in meeting their objectives around recruitment. We will support them in converting that into decisions that drive improved performance and help Celta get to where they deserve to be."
