St Mirren Football Club is excited to announce its partnership with sports analytics firm SciSports.
St Mirren and SciSports will be collaborating in the field of player scouting. With the addition of SciSports’ data intelligence to the scouting department, the club is broadening its options in the recruitment process.
The advanced data models in SciSports’ football intelligence platform Insight will support St Mirren in finding the best suitable players and reducing risk purchases. Next to this, these models make a contribution to mapping potential acquisitions as quickly as possible.
The club will get access to a database with objective and statistically substantiated player insights of more than 90,000 players worldwide.
The collaboration with St Mirren is an example of the steps SciSports is making in the global football landscape. After recent success stories with clubs from other countries including Olympique Lyonnais, Ajax, Wolfsburg and Leeds United among others, SciSports are now entering the Scottish football market.
We are excited about the new partnership and look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
