Volleyball World has signed a 10-year agreement with Stats Perform, a global leader in sports AI. This grants Stats Perform the exclusive global betting broadcast and data rights for the major men's and women's volleyball competitions. The partnership includes the FIVB Men's and Women's World Volleyball Championships and the Beach World Championships, the annual Volleyball Nations League, and the Beach Pro Tour, among others.
It also includes highly competitive and popular men's and women's competitions such as the Italian Superleague, the Italian Women's Volleyball League, and various competitions of the Asian Volleyball Confederation.
Speaking about the historic agreement, Felix von Knorring, head of media at Volleyball World, commented: "We are excited to partner with Stats Perform and leverage their highly professional approach to content creation and distribution".
“Together with their AI and technical capabilities, strong commitment to fan engagement, and unmatched network of licensed sports betting partners, they provide the perfect platform to bring top-tier men's and women's volleyball entertainment to the widest possible audience”, he added.
Alex Rice, commercial director at Stats Perform, explained: “Volleyball is an increasingly important sport for our licensed sports betting partners, as their users love to watch and engage with it”.
“It is consistently one of the most-watched events at the Olympic Games, and recent data shows that it can attract as many bettors as the tennis Majors. We are excited to help our clients deliver such compelling content throughout the year to their users”, he added.
The official data from these volleyball competitions is the latest addition to Stats Perform's highly reliable betting data trading offering, which recently received its fifth consecutive IBIA data standards accreditation independently audited.
Meanwhile, live coverage of the events is part of Stats Perform's "Bet LiveStreams," a 24/7 interactive video service for licensed bookmakers. It currently features over 100 of the top men's and women's league competitions across 13 sports.
