Stats Perform has provided pro services to Football Australia for the past 
eight years and this new agreement will see Opta data collected for matches 
involving all the federations men's and women's national teams down to under 17 
level. This will enable Football Australia's technical staff to build a single, 
consistent database of event data for monitoring Australian players and to 
support their long-term international pathway management. 
 
Football Australia will also have access to Stats Perform's ProVision tool to 
monitor the weekly performance of all Australian players for their domestic 
clubs, as well as support their detailed analysis of each international team's 
upcoming opposition.

After extending their service agreement with Stats Perform through to the 
summer of 2024, Doug Kors, Football Australia's Head of Performance Analysis, 
said: "We are very pleased to be continuing our long-standing relationship with 
Stats Perform. The database of Opta data, collected across all of our matches, 
is integral to the ongoing analysis of each of our international age groups, as 
we prepare for qualification campaigns and major competitions involving our 
men's and women's senior and youth teams." 

In addition to Opta data, the agreement will also see Stats Perform collect 
optical tracking data, on request, from international matches featuring any 
Australian team, using the SportVU system. The collection of tracking data will 
enable Football Australia to consume SportVU's most advanced optical files and 
link them directly to their own tracking KPIs and video, enabling the coaching 
staff to work on various tactical scenarios and player decision-making on the 
training field, working off the positional data captured.  
  
Steven Cliffe, Stats Perform Senior Vice President of Sales, APAC added: "We 
very happy to have expanded our existing agreement to provide the coaches 
working with the Socceroos, Matildas and all the Australian youth teams with 
additional tracking data from matches, to further enhance their post-match 
analysis processes. This commitment further reinforces Stats Perform's position 
as the leading provider of team performance services to national federations in 
the APAC region, and we are looking forward to supporting Football Australia as 
they manage their player pathways and prepare for international fixtures."
