Global data provider inks long-term extension via Sportradar Integrity Services arm
Sportradar has added another decade to its integrity partnership with the European Handball Federation (EHF).
Under the terms of the agreement, Sportradar Integrity Services will provide services to help safeguard EHF national team, club and international youth competitions through to 2030.
Sportradar will monitor the events using its Fraud Detection System (FDS), with more than 10,000 matches set to be monitored over the course of the agreement.
As part of the deal, players, teams and match officials will be provided with education and prevention workshops designed to inform participants of potential integrity threats.
EHF secretary general Martin Hausleitner said: “Sportradar have been a valued and trusted partner of ours over the past three years, and we are pleased to extend our cooperation over the course of this decade.
“The EHF is committed to protecting the integrity of its flagship club and national team competitions, and by utilising a multi-faceted approach to integrity, we believe that EHF competitions are well safeguarded from the modern-day integrity threats that face our sport.”
Sportradar Integrity Services MD Andreas Krannich commented: “Over the past three years of our partnership, we have supported the EHF with a triple-pronged approach of bet monitoring, education and prevention, and intelligence and investigations solutions.
“With today’s news, our co-operation is signalling a decade-long commitment to integrity in handball with EHF competitions perfectly positioned to thrive over the next 10 years,” he added.
