We’re excited to support the US expansion of SciSports, a global leader in football intelligence trusted by 150+ clubs and federations with 8,500+ matches processed worldwide.

SciSports transforms match video into objective, actionable insights that elevate scouting, recruitment, and player development. It’s fast, accessible, and built to scale across both elite and grassroots soccer.

The timing is right.
US soccer is entering a defining moment—rising youth participation, major league investment, and the momentum of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2031 Women’s World Cup. The need for modern performance intelligence is only growing.

Our shared goal:
bring clear, accessible football intelligence to every level of the game in North America.

We’re opening conversations with investors, clubs, and partners exploring opportunities in sports, AI, and analytics.
