Infront, the media, betting, and technology partner of France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), has partnered with Genius Sports to implement cutting-edge tracking technology across the Ligue 1 McDonalds and Ligue 2 BKT.
Infront’s commitment to deliver best-in-class technology and data services to the LFP is part of a broad partnership encompassing betting rights, selected media rights and digital and technology services, the latter powered by Infront Lab, the innovation arm of Infront.
The use of computer vision for data capture sits closely at the heart of Infront’s new betting division, Infront Bettor. As part of a broad partnership, Infront will introduce Genius Sports’ world class data and tracking technologies to the LFP.
The partnership with Genius Sports comes on the heels of a highly successful phase for Infront, marked by strong performance for both betting and media sales across the LFP. This latest collaboration underscores Infront’s momentum in delivering cutting-edge solutions to its partners, further reinforcing its role as a key player in the evolution of the sports betting and media landscape.
Powered by GeniusIQ, Genius Sports’ next-generation AI and data platform, the LFP will benefit from a single, connected system that will drive innovations from player and game analysis to how fans experience France’s premier football league. Machine learning and AI will provide data-driven performance tools to LFP coaches and analysts enhancing training, in-game decision making and post-match analysis. Augmented, data-driven broadcasts will also include key tracking insights displayed to viewers in real-time.
Full coordination of the technology with the LFP will be handled by Infront as it looks to deliver an improved product to the league’s media partners as well as bookmakers.
Martin Aurenche, LFP Media Chief Media Officer, said: “Infront has demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the LFP remains at the forefront of football innovation through this partnership. We are excited to see what GeniusIQ will bring to our league in terms of cutting-edge data insights, enhancing not only the fan experience but also providing clubs and coaches with invaluable tools to elevate their performance.”
Chris Catling, Head of Infront Bettor, said: “The appointment of Genius Sports is a testament to Infront and LFP’s shared commitment to innovation. It will enhance both the fan experience whilst also empowering clubs and coaches with tools that drive performance and strategy. The LFP continues to be a dynamic partner and together we are charting a course for the future of football that is both exciting and transformative. Our intention will always be to provide the best technology available to our partners, either in-house or via trusted third parties.”
Jack Davison, Chief Commercial Officer of Genius Sports, said: “Together, Infront, LFP and Genius Sports share a vision for implementing best-in-class technology to enhance French football both on and off the pitch. We’re excited to begin this new partnership to put the LFP at the forefront of data innovation through GeniusIQ. From enabling coaches to find their winning edge to powering augmented, data-driven broadcasts, GeniusIQ provides the foundations for unparalleled fan engagement.”
