STATSCORE nets Slovakian Handball partnership

Slovakia’s top handball league, Slovnaft Handball Extraliga has unveiled STATSCORE as its official stats provider for the next two seasons.  

As part of the partnership, STATSCORE’s highly trained scouts will cover the league, producing high quality in-depth statistics and data.

This will include, shots on targets, the distance goals are scored from, player’s throwing accuracy, goalkeeper’s efficiency and much more. It will allow fans to gain a greater insight into the league, as they are not only able to follow all games live, but will have access to a greater pre match analysis.

Jaroslav Holeša, President of Slovak Handball Federation commented: “We are very glad about the new cooperation with STATSCORE, who became our official partner for data and statistics. Our fans will now be closer to the top Slovak men´s league, Slovnaft Handball Extraliga, thanks to the LeagueCenter from Statscore that has been created for our website, slovakhandball.sk. I am convinced that our league and federation will profit a lot from our cooperation with Statscore.”

Slovnaft Handball Extraliga became the second top European handball league to partner with STATSCORE, after the Polish PGNiG Superliga also decided to appoint the firm as its official data supplier. Both competitions get underway during the same weekend as August concludes and September starts, so devoted handball fans will have plenty to look forward to as summer comes to an end.

Tomasz Myalski, STATSCORE CEO added: “I’m proud that Slovnaft Handball Superliga has become another European handball league that has chosen STATSCORE as its official data provider and decided to join us in building the biggest sports data centre in the world. Everything we create is for our Partners as we try to support them by recognizing their needs and preparing solutions that help them achieve their business goals. I’m sure that as the ‘Official Data Supplier’ we will deliver a lot of fun to all handball fans in Slovakia, who will enjoy the top quality handball stats updated in real time.”
