Belgian Futsal League Enlist STATSCORE as Primary Data Provider
The popular Belgian Betcenter Futsal League has partnered with STATSCORE, a Polish sports data firm, to improve consumer integration and depth of statistics. There’s been a rapid increase in consumer interest relating to the sport and futsal online betting. This is the first deal of its kind in the international futsal circuit. The Belgian league will be the first to receive in-depth analytical reviews for each match, available for the clubs and fans.

The Belgian futsal league ran to its conclusion only two months ago, and once the new season begins in November, every match will be recorded live to contextualize numerous data tangents later. The usual stat points such as goals scored, the number of passes, possession will all be counted for. Modern methods such as heatmaps will also be included, and heatmaps display a graph that shows a player’s average position during a matches runtime.
STATSCORE offers their service across the globe. Some of their biggest partnerships include the Polish Premiership (Ekstraklasa), the German Bundesliga, and several Cricket leagues, including the ICC World Cricket League. They’ve become a successful stakeholder in the world of sports data, and 2022 is predicted to be their biggest year thus far. Several contracts are in the works, the biggest of which involves a direct agreement with Inter Milan, based on providing match data for in-house usage.
The Polish data firm provides an extensive range of analytics for clubs and fans alike; while sports teams receive an in-depth review of their players, fans can still access the surface level data. As the season progresses, more data compilations put together will improve the range of data measurables, the ability to cross-reference data becomes easier as more variables are listed. Fans will be able to access the essential data points through the association’s website. More news on that will follow as the new season draws closer.
A spokesperson for STATSCORE expressed their delight at the prospect of working with the Belgian Betcenter league, stating that it was a great opportunity to expand the companies horizons, and form a strong connection with their European customers. The Polish data analysts have long since been involved with sporting leagues worldwide, but a new avenue has opened for them. Online betting is their next target, and several interesting strategies will help them get there.
What are the Next Steps for STATSCORE
Last months’ press release made it no secret that STATSCORE wants to push into the online betting industry. While this may draw many misconceptions, they aren’t looking to establish their own sportsbook; rather, they wish to gain a foothold in the consumer data field of online betting. Companies across the world rely directly on consumer data to identify trends and overall demographics. The betting industry is no exception. Online traffic is used to improve the user experience further.
STATSCORE is currently finalizing a deal with Betway, one of the world’s leading providers in online gambling. If they manage to seal the deal, it will be a landmark opportunity for the Polish firm to garner a positive reputation within the industry. Betway will expect a number of data points to be analyzed and contextualized to enable its strategic planners to predict future market trends. It’s nothing new, and most online sportsbooks utilize consumer data at every level of the business.
While they conquer the Belgian futsal league, STATSCORE is also looking to delve into Belgian casinos, which have recently reopened after their closure at the hands of the pandemic. Currently, the scene is flourishing. Several large crossovers took place in the last couple of weeks, including Red Rake Gaming and New Circus Casino, two of the country’s largest land-based and online providers. Currently, they are one of the fastest-growing casino markets in Europe.
