PA wins Football Conference data rights deal

The Press Association has won an exclusive contract to supply data on Skrill Football Conference matches for the next two years.

The agency has been named the official and exclusive supplier of data for the Conference, which sits one place down the football ‘pyramid’ from the Football League.

PA says the deal, which will run until the end of the 2015/16 season, will ensure that “consistent and accurate” football data is swiftly available to the media.

Head of operations Margaret Hicks-Clarke said: “We have considerable experience both in the collection and commercial use of football data on behalf of rights holders and we look forward to a successful partnership with the Football Conference.

“Our partnership will further enhance the profile of the Football Conference within the media sector of grass roots football, while also delivering a high level data service to the market place through standalone statistics, plus PA’s industry leading graphics and datatorials.”

Brian Lee, Chairman at the Football Conference added: “We are delighted to enter into this agreement with the Press Association – a renowned and well-respected supplier of sports data to media outlets throughout the country.”
