North America’s biggest arena soccer league, Major Arena Soccer League (MASL), has partnered with ALT Sports Data to distribute data to sports betting platforms. Sportsbook operators will be able to use this data to manage odds and set pre-event markets.
MASL Properties President Rob Striar commented: "Major Arena Soccer League and MASL Properties is excited to partner with ALT Sports Data and to bring these high-skilled and scoring games to bettors.
"MASL games are ideal for betting with non-stop action and a great format. We look forward to partnering with ALT Sports Data and reaching new fans."
Unlike traditional soccer, arena soccer is played on an indoor field that is between 150 to 210 feet long. Only six players per team are allowed on the field at a time. Players can bounce the ball off of a perimeter wall that surrounds the field.
MASL is North America’s highest level of arena soccer, featuring teams from across the US and Mexico. The league has recently been in the headlines after legendary Brazilian football player Ronaldo de Assis Moreira was announced as the co-owner of an as-yet-unnamed expansion team.
According to a press release, MASL hopes that this partnership will generate interest in arena soccer and increase fan engagement with the sport.
"As the official data partner for MASL, we will be able to add another layer to an already fast-paced and exciting league." ALT Sports Data CMO Todd Ballard.
He continued: "Legal sports betting means more fans and greater engagement for MASL."
