Sportradar Group has extended and expanded its long-standing integrity services agreement with global football governing body FIFA for an additional five years.
The renewed agreement runs through 2031 and provides comprehensive AI-driven bet-monitoring services, and now includes expanded intelligence and investigation support and dedicated risk assessment services for FIFA and its 211 member associations.
These additions further strengthen FIFA’s ability to identify, assess and respond to integrity risks across a broad and evolving global betting and competition landscape.
Sportradar will provide integrity services across men’s and women’s FIFA international competitions; men’s and women’s confederation-run international and international club competitions; senior men’s and women’s domestic matches from the top two tiers; and the main national cup competitions across all member associations.
Since 2017, Sportradar has monitored more than 600,000 matches globally on behalf of FIFA through the company’s proprietary Universal Fraud Detection Service (UFDS AI).
“The expansion of our integrity agreement with FIFA further strengthens the ability to identify, assess and respond to risks in an increasingly complex global picture. It underlines both organisations commitment to fair and clean sport at all levels globally,” said Andreas Krannich, Sportradar executive vice president of integrity services.
“Our integrity services are designed to address risk in a joined-up way, combining bet monitoring through our AI-powered Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS AI) — built in-house using more than 20 years of historical data – with rapid reporting from betting operators, alongside comprehensive education and prevention programmes delivered to sports organisations worldwide.”
