Analytics FC are delighted to confirm a new collaboration which brings its industry-leading data services to Gotham FC. The multi-year agreement will see Gotham utilizing Analytics FC’s proprietary algorithms including through its flagship data scouting platform, TransferLab.
Gotham FC was a founding member of NWSL as Sky Blue FC and became Gotham in 2021 when the franchise rebranded. In recent years, Gotham has made significant strides, notably, winning the NWSL Championship in 2023.
Under Head Coach Juan Carlos Amorós, the club has developed an exciting and effective style of play, built on clever recruitment and roster management led by General Manager, Yael Averbuch and Director of Scouting and Roster Development, Rich Gunney.
Averbuch West said, “We are really excited about this collaboration with Analytics FC. We are pleased with our current trajectory as a franchise, but we’re extremely ambitious and are constantly seeking ways to ensure we create a high performance culture here at Gotham. Analytics FC’s tools and services will help our staff further incorporate data into our workflow and build a new dimension into what we’re trying to achieve.”
Analytics FC CEO Jeremy Steele added, “We’re really proud of our reputation in women’s football. Our TransferLab platform was the first data analytics product dedicated to the women’s game, and we have continued to build on that right across our services. We are delighted to be working with a club of the calibre and ambition of Gotham FC and especially to be supporting Yael, Juan Carlos and Rich to achieve their sporting goals. It’s such an exciting project.”
