ABOUT SOFASCORE

Some tell stories with words, we tell ours with numbers. Sofascore is a sports-tech platform created with one goal in mind – giving sports enthusiasts around the world a deeper understanding of the game. 

We pride ourselves with being the leading provider of advanced sports insights, covering more matches than anyone else on the planet: 20,000+ tournaments across 25 sports in 40+ languages. 

From the biggest derbies to amateur matches, Sofascore knows every game counts and that’s why we always aim to have the largest data coverage out there. This comes easy with Torneo, our very own tournament management software.

Original features such as the Sofascore Rating allowed us to position ourselves as the authority in evaluating player performance. Our unique algorithm took years to perfect and is an objective look at what’s happening on the pitch, more contextual than ever before. This led to the Player of the Season award, an accolade recognized by fans, players and media alike, founded to honor the best of the best. On the other hand, developing features like Sofascore Fantasy allowed our users to manage teams in numerous leagues worldwide, including the Champions League.

The Sofascore team counts more than 300 experts, primarily playing at our home court in Croatia, but we also have talents showing their skills worldwide.
