The approach of AS Nancy Lorraine toward innovation and the pursuit of sporting excellence has been strengthened thanks to the strategic agreement with Sports Data Campus. Through this alliance, the historic French club commits to significantly incorporating technology, advanced data analytics, and artificial intelligence into its sporting strategy, with the aim of improving comprehensive management across both the playing squad and the institution.
This strategic step demonstrates AS Nancy Lorraine’s determination to leverage these analytical tools to improve sporting performance and make strategic and operational decisions, consolidating its position as a reference institution in the world of football.

The agreement between AS Nancy Lorraine and Sports Data Campus
The implementation of analytical tools and techniques, designed to analyze complex data and extract valuable insights for the club, will be made possible thanks to the dedication, work, and contributions of qualified professionals at our educational institution, specifically through our Professional Extension Department.
This historic French institution will benefit from incorporating new talents and innovative perspectives while gaining up-to-date knowledge on emerging technologies and industry trends. This approach will not only enrich the organization but also offer the opportunity to cultivate and develop young talents within the club.

In the words of David Sáez, CEO of Sports Data Campus: “Adding AS Nancy Lorraine to our list of collaborating clubs is a further step in our internationalization process and in seeking practical opportunities for our international students in top football countries. Moreover, this agreement, which was made possible thanks to one of our students working with the club, is of even greater significance. I would like to thank José Martínez and Michaël Chretién for choosing us to help them develop the club’s analytical ecosystem.”
On the other hand, Michaël Chretién, Sports Director of AS Nancy Lorraine, expressed: “As the Sports Director of AS Nancy Lorraine, I am pleased to announce our collaboration with Sports Data Campus. This partnership marks an important turning point in our approach to player scouting and creating projects for our club. Data plays a crucial role in sports analysis, recruitment, injury prevention, opponent analysis, and in the overall management of a football club that, let’s not forget, is also a business.“

“This collaboration gives us the opportunity to access a wealth of additional information, opening new horizons for decision‑making within our institution. We are convinced that this partnership with Sports Data Campus will provide us with in‑depth insights, facilitating strategic thinking and helping us make the best possible decisions. I would like to express my gratitude to David Sáez, CEO of Sports Data Campus, on behalf of AS Nancy Lorraine. We are confident that this collaboration will be of great value to our future, and we are committed to contributing to the training of future students at the institution.”

The agreement not only allows students to develop Master’s projects in alignment with the club’s needs but also opens up the opportunity for AS Nancy Lorraine professionals to give Masterclasses, offering a practical insight into the internal workings of the entity. Moreover, the possibility of jointly designing training courses aligned with both the club’s and Sports Data Campus’ needs will be explored, ensuring a continuous adaptation to the evolution of data analytics in football.
This exchange of knowledge benefits both AS Nancy Lorraine, which gains new skills, ideas, and energy, and the students from Sports Data Campus, who will have the opportunity to learn from the experience and accumulated knowledge of the club’s professionals.
