STATSports has partnered with US Youth Soccer to make the GPS provider’s wearable technology available to participants in the new USYS National League Elite 64.
STATSports previously inked a landmark agreement with US Soccer to supply its Apex wearable to the men’s and women’s national teams, as well as youth development programs.
Several national team players, including Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Tim Weah, and Tyler Adams, have become brand ambassadors.
- Rei do Pitaco, a Brazilian fantasy soccer startup, has raised $32 million in a Series A round.
- Morocco advances to the AFCON quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over Malawi, thanks to a Hakimi strike.
USYS is the largest member of the US Soccer Federation and claims to be the world’s largest youth sports organization, with nearly three million players.
The Elite 64 is a new program launching in Fall 2022 for the top 64 boys’ and top 64 girls’ clubs in six age groups: 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U, and 18/19U. The data from the wearables will enable more objective comparisons across teams and leagues and can be shared for college and professional recruiting.
