Sportradar has served as Onefootball’s lead data API and live score services provider since 2014.
Onefootball CEO & Founder, Lucas von Cranach, said: “We are delighted to be taking our next steps in the streaming market and also build on our existing relationship with Sportradar by utilising and jointly customising their state-of-the-art OTT solution for our purposes.
Powering Onefootball’s OTT ambitions, Sportradar has recently secured PPV live streaming packages with Sky Deutschland, for Bundesliga 2 and DFB-Pokal matches in Germany, and Eleven Sports for domestic Serie C matches in Italy as well as selected premium matches in Belgium and Luxemburg
Sportradar’s Managing Director for OTT, Rainer Geier, said: “It’s a real privilege to have been chosen as an OTT partner by Onefootball – one of the most forward-thinking players in the sports content space.
“As we already enjoy a strong working relationship, we’re looking forward to enhancing that and providing them with market-leading streaming capabilities following their partnerships with Sky Deutschland and Eleven Sports.”
