Orlegi Sports and Sports Data Campus come together to shape the digital future of football.
Sports Data Campus is pleased to announce the start of a strategic collaboration with Orlegi Sports, the Grupo Orlegi division dedicated to the management and operation of owned clubs, stadiums, sports assets, events, and other sport-related properties.
In just over a decade, the company has established itself as one of the most influential sports groups in Latin America, with two football clubs in Mexico, Atlas FC and Club Santos Laguna, as well as Real Sporting de Gijón in Spain. This alliance reinforces the shared vision of both organisations and positions them as benchmarks in the professionalisation and modernisation of sport through the adoption of global best practices and trends.
Orlegi Sports and its alliance with Sports Data Campus
The purpose of this alliance is to make the most of cutting-edge technology to develop innovative solutions that not only improve sporting and operational efficiency, but also enrich the overall experience for both professionals and sports fans. We will focus on creating and executing initiatives that fully leverage the latest technology available, with the aim of leading innovation by exploring new possibilities and applications that significantly transform the landscape of sport and football.
In this way, Sports Data Campus students will be able to take part in Orlegi Sports sporting and institutional initiatives, whether in its teams, academy categories, or management areas. It is a key opportunity to put acquired knowledge into practice in a real environment, respond to the demands of modern sport, and continue driving its transformation through data analysis.
Piero Ricci, Chief of Revenue at Orlegi Sports, said: “For Orlegi Sports, it is essential to establish partnerships that strengthen our relationship with fans through the strategic use of data. This collaboration with Sports Data Campus will not only allow us to be more efficient in decision-making, but also to offer students practical, real-world experience directly linked to the current challenges of the sports industry.
We are convinced that being part of academic projects that drive the professionalisation of the sector is a responsibility we take on with pride. Without a doubt, this alliance will create shared value and open up new collaboration opportunities between both institutions.”
According to David Sáez, CEO of Sports Data Campus: “Having the opportunity to collaborate and work with the professionals of Orlegi Sports through analytical projects involving our students is a real source of pride for us. We are convinced of the importance of adding an international group with Orlegi’s recognised prestige to our ecosystem of collaborators.
Orlegi Sports is a global benchmark within the club management ecosystem, and we are sure that our students will be able to bring great value to their teams. I do not want to miss the opportunity to thank the entire team that worked on this agreement for their invaluable collaboration in making it possible.”
