What They Say

Using Opta data has allowed us to steal a march both in player recruitment, particularly in the main markets of England, Germany, Spain, Italy and France, and now in match analysis. What stands alone for us with Opta is its attitude to innovation and creativity.

Mike Forde - Director of Football Operations, Chelsea

Opta proved the right partner to help us interpret performance data and display it in a way the media wanted and the consumer understood. We worked with Opta on the Castrol Index because of their understanding and expertise around how you delivered unique insights into performance.

Paul Goodmaker - Global Sponsorship Communications Manager, Castrol

Sky have had an excellent and successful working relationship with Opta for more than a decade. Opta have consistently provided us with good value content, responding really well to our changing demands and never hesitating to invest in developing and innovating new products. We feel Opta are leaders in the stats business, initiating change in response to a rapidly evolving marketplace and we believe their data collection and dissemination is of real value as we move further into the digital age.

Opta’s statistical and graphical offerings greatly enhance our football coverage, providing added depth to our analysis while brightening up the pages.

Bill Edgar - Journalist, Times

We are very satisfied with the collaboration we have had with Opta for many years. The data provided allows us to create rich and innovating content to satisfy our audience. It is particularly true for our Fantasy Games where the scores are updated through the real performances of each player on the field. This helps to offer a unique game experience to our subscribers.

Opta facts allow us to enrich our coverage of football news. Without Opta, it would be impossible for us to gather so many relevant statistics on the matches and leagues that we cover.

Opta provide us with an excellent cost-efficient statistics service and never fail to meet our demanding deadlines.

Opta's statistics are of great value and have an excellent level of information. The explanatory data is of help to the technical staff throughout the season and Opta offer fantastic support

Michel - Head Coach, Getafe CF

People want their sports on the move, using Opta’s detailed stats it allowed us to offer a comprehensive World Cup guide to fans, that you would typically expect from the desktop. The data Opta offers is incredibly rich allowing us to offer live commentary and stats all in very near real-time. We hope this is the start of offering rich mobile applications to sports fans on the move

Opta data is a fantastic tool to help with understanding football from a scientific perspective. Working with Opta is must for any forward thinking stakeholder in the football industry.

We firmly believe that Opta-ratings are the best measure of player performance out there. To incorporate them into a game is a great idea - and we are glad to be working with Opta to bring such a whole new level of realism to fantasy football.

Alexander Schorn - CFO & CTO, Kaiser

Opta's unique form of data collection provides statistics that you just can't get from any other source.
