The Football Association of the Czech Republic (FACR) has announced that it is endeavoring to boost its match integrity provisions by entering into a long term integrity partnership with the world’s leading supplier of sports integrity solutions, Sportradar.

In terms of the agreement, all matches in FACR third tier and youth competitions will be monitored by Sportradar’s Fraud Detection System (FDS) – the most technically advanced bet monitoring system accessible, and the only such system that is independently assessed and verified by recognized experts in the field of sports betting and integrity.

Sportradar will also act as FACR’s official data partner across all premier men’s women’s and youth competitions during the period of this agreement.

Jan Pauly, General Secretary of FACR, commented that Sportradar have been a valued and trusted partner of theirs since 2012, with their FDS bet monitoring solution providing valuable oversight of global betting data surrounding their competitions. 

Pauly went on to say that by adding their Intelligence and Investigation services to their integrity program, they are confident that they will gain an extra layer of visibility and insight into potential integrity risks, as they have already witnessed through collaboration on previous projects.

Andreas Krannich, Sportradar Integrity Services Managing Director, added that they have been a proud partner of the FACR since 2012 and are delighted to be extending, and expanding, their integrity partnership well into the next decade. 

Krannich went on to say that their long term partners know best the importance they place on establishing strong working relationship, as they help put safeguarding efforts in the best position to succeed. 

Krannich also said that their Intelligence and Investigation products will now put FACR competitions in an even stronger position to thrive.  He added that they look forward to building their relationship with FACR over the coming years and playing an even stronger role in helping to uphold the integrity of Czech football.
