Gradient and SportAnalytics Partner to take Elite Analysis to the next level

Gradient is pleased to announce a new partnership with SportAnalytics that will introduce Gradient’s advanced Player Grades and Physical Metrics to clubs and organizations across the football ecosystem. This collaboration will deliver a more complete and objective understanding of player performance to a growing network of users that increasingly rely on structured, consistent, and context-rich evaluation tools.

Gradient’s Player Grades are built directly on top of its Enhanced Event Data framework, which captures every action with full context and complete definition. Every event on the pitch is evaluated on a structure built in partnership with some of Europe's biggest clubs so that professionals can understand not only what happened, but why it happened and how well it was executed. By bringing this grading system to Italy through SportAnalytics, clubs will gain access to a performance language that allows fair comparison across leagues and provides a clearer foundation for scouting, recruitment, and tactical analysis.

“SportAnalytics are one of the leading providers of cutting edge analytics through their industry leading digital platform. They work with some of the biggest teams in world football and this partnership enables new and existing users to take their insights to the next level through Gradient player grades and physical data. We are excited to be working with such a pioneer in football data analytics" said James Clarke-Reed EVP, Club and Partner Solutions at Gradient.

This partnership represents a strategic milestone in Gradient’s expansion into Europe and reflects SportAnalytics’ commitment to providing clubs with innovative analytics solutions. The shared goal is to deliver clarity, consistency and speed in analysis so that Italian football teams make better decisions both on and off the pitch.
