Sportradar expands Brazilian soccer partnership to the state level
The company will provide its integrity services to over 3000 Brazilian Football Confederation matches per year.
Sportradar, a provider of sports integrity solutions, has extended its partnership with the Brazilian Football Confederation to include soccer matches that take place at the state level.
Through this expansion, Sportradar is set to utilize its Universal Fraud Detection System across 3,000 matches in the next year, covering 27 state-level competitions in total. The company will monitor for match fixing, illegal betting and various other forms of fraud.
Previously, the company’s efforts only stretched to the third and fourth tiers of Brazilian Soccer, those being Serie C and Serie D respectively.
Sportradar Integrity Services Managing Director, Andreas Krannich, noted: “Having witnessed growing integrity issues across global sport in recent years, particularly in lower levels of competition and youth sport, it is commendable to see the importance the CBF places on preventative measures. Through this ongoing partnership, we look forward to continuing our work in a country with such a rich footballing history and future.”
This deal is multifaceted with Sportradar set to deliver online integrity workshops to players, coaches, staff and referees, among other stakeholders.
The Football Confederation’s Acting President, Ednaldo Rodrigues, believes this is an important step to ensuring the legitimacy of Brazilian soccer.
He said: “Sportradar Integrity Services have been a valued and trusted partner of ours, with their UFDS bet monitoring providing vital insights into the betting activity on our competitions. Extending this partnership helps to strengthen our mission to protect Brazilian football, and by adding their live integrity workshops, we will gain an extra layer of protection by ensuring that education is delivered on the integrity dangers facing our competitions.”
