About Us

StatsBomb was founded in January ‎2017 to provide data, analytics, and
consultancy to football teams, media, and gambling companies, and has grown
into a global multi-sports data and analytics SAAS provider.

StatsBomb are well known in the sports analytics industry for providing unique
insights into the game of football and have developed a strong brand
synonymous with highest quality and accuracy of data coupled with excellent
customer service and support.

We have grown from our initial founder team of ‎3 at the start of ‎2017 to over
‎700 employees based in Europe, the US and Egypt, and are continuing to expand
our operation as we build out our product portfolio and customer base.

Our core products are data and analytics tools, with a tech stack that
includes computer vision, machine learning, stream processing, and web-based
dataviz. We also have a growing consultancy service that allows customers to
have additional access to our expertise and insight. From our origins as a
blog pre ‎2017, StatsBomb have always had a strong foothold in the football
analytics community and education remains a constant feature of both our
products and our customer support ethos.
