Genius Sports Limited, the official data, technology and broadcast partner that powers the ecosystem connecting sports and media, has agreed a long-term official data, streaming and integrity partnership with the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA), the data rights holder of Taiwan football.

This partnership includes the CTFA’s premier competitions including the Taiwan Football Premier League (TFPL), Taiwan Mulan Football League (TMFL) and Taiwan Football League 2nd Division.

Genius Sports will provide the CTFA with its world-leading sports data insights and technology to enhance fan experiences and assist the CTFA in commercialising its sports data and promoting streaming content to the world.

Also, Genius Sports will provide its Integrity Services to protect the CTFA from match-fixing and uphold the standard of its competitions. Global wagering on the TFPL, TMFL and 2nd Division matches will be monitored and analysed by Genius Sports’ team of excerpt integrity analysts who will inform the CTFA of any potentially suspicious activity that requires further investigation.

“We are happy to enter a 4-year agreement with Genius Sports. This is a giant step for us in modernizing our domestic leagues and maintaining our sports integrity. With the experience of Genius Sports, we can deliver higher quality content to our fans,” Liang-Chen Chen, Deputy General Secretary of CTFA, said.
