The Confederation of Asian Football (CAF) and Sportradar have prolonged their established alliance, seeking to bolster the probity of Asian soccer for an additional four years. This revitalized accord, spanning from 2024 to 2027, signifies a 14-year collaboration devoted to combating game manipulation and preserving the essence of sportsmanship.
The partnership, formalized at a signing event in Doha preceding the highly anticipated 2023 CAF Asian Cup, underscores the organizations’ mutual dedication to an untainted sport. CAF President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, addressing the gathering, commended Sportradar as a steadfast partner in the battle against match-fixing. He accentuated the partnership’s development over the past ten years, highlighting its pivotal function in upholding impartiality in Asian soccer.
Reiterating these viewpoints, Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl stressed the shared commitment to integrity, observing the positive influence of their combined endeavors in safeguarding the fairness of CAF tournaments.
We understand that technology is transforming the field. We’re embracing this change, not avoiding it. We’re actively exploring areas like artificial intelligence and automated learning to address complex challenges in athletics, such as maintaining integrity and fairness.
