The official radio program of Sevilla FC, Contigo Sevilla, featured David Sáez, CEO of Sport Data Campus, during its broadcast on Thursday, February 19, in an interview focused on the impact of data analysis in professional football.
During the conversation, Sáez highlighted the evolution of data usage within clubs over recent years, transitioning from a complementary tool to a structural element in sports decision-making processes. In this context, he emphasized the key role that analytics departments currently play in areas such as scouting, squad planning, and performance evaluation.
The discussion also addressed the growing need to incorporate specialized profiles capable of interpreting objective information within sports management teams, in a setting where talent identification increasingly relies on advanced analytical models.
Within this framework, the program presented:
The 10th Edition of the Master’s in Big Data Applied to Football Scouting, organized by the Sevilla FC Innovation Center in collaboration with Sport Data Campus and UCAM, which will begin on March 26, 2026.
This program is designed for scouts, analysts, coaches, and sporting directors who want to integrate strategic data use into the processes of talent identification and evaluation in professional football.
Additionally, the new edition of the Sport Data Forum 26 was announced, taking place on the same day at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium. The event will bring together professionals, clubs, and companies from the sport-tech ecosystem for a day dedicated to analyzing the impact of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics on the sports industry.
