09 Jan STATSports Sign Multi-Year Deal To Team Up with Como 1907

STATSports has signed a multi-year agreement with Serie A newcomers Como 1907 to become their official GPS Performance Tracking partner. This partnership marks a significant milestone as Como returns to Italy’s top-flight football for the first time since 2004. 

A Journey Back to Serie A 

Situated on the picturesque banks of Lake Como, the club has experienced a remarkable resurgence under the leadership of head coach Cesc Fàbregas, Head of Performance Filippo Sassi, and Head of Development Osian Roberts. Their efforts have resulted in successive promotions, propelling the team to Serie A. 

A cornerstone of this success has been the club’s philosophy of player progression. With a commitment to nurturing young talent, Como has adopted the approach of cutting-edge data solutions that have played a crucial role in supporting this vision, enhancing the athletic development process. 

Elevating Player Development 

From the beginning of Fàbregas’ tenure, academy players have been involved in first-team training. With STATSports’ Sonra Cloud technology, Como can seamlessly transition players from the youth squad to the senior team. This technology enables performance staff across all levels to access, share, and update player data through a web browser. 

For instance, when an Primavera player joins first-team training, coaches can evaluate their athletic profile and set customised thresholds. Likewise, academy sports scientists can monitor and integrate the player’s first-team activities into their ongoing development. This collaborative approach ensures smooth transitions between teams without compromising athletic growth. 

Integrating Technology On and Off the Pitch 

Como 1907 has also been a pioneer in leveraging advanced technology to optimise performance. The club has integrated STATSports’ infrastructure at both their home ground, Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, and their training facility, Centro Sportivo Città di Mozzate. 

With fixed beacons installed on-site, live data can be transmitted with unmatched accuracy, eliminating the need for portable equipment. This streamlined system simplifies the coaching process and ensures that the team consistently benefits from the most precise performance insights. 

Eyes on the Future 

As Como 1907 embarks on their new journey in Serie A, they are a club to watch both on and off the pitch. By combining innovative technology, a commitment to youth development, and a forward-thinking leadership team, they are well-positioned to make their mark in Italian football in 2024 and beyond.
