Common questions about our data infrastructure services

About InvestFootball

What does InvestFootball do?

We invest in football clubs and deploy elite-level data infrastructure. The same AI scouting, performance analytics, injury prediction, and opponent intelligence platform licensed by top European clubs, made accessible to ambitious clubs at any level.

What is the LATS framework?

LATS stands for Liquid Capital, Analytics, Technology, and Systems. It's our systematic approach to implementing data infrastructure at clubs: flexible funding (L), AI-powered intelligence (A), enterprise data architecture (T), and staff training with workflow integration (S).

What makes InvestFootball different from analytics software?

We don't sell software. We build and deploy the complete data infrastructure (architecture, AI models, data feeds, dashboards) and train your staff to run it independently. You get enterprise capability, not just a dashboard.

What We Implement

What analytics capabilities do you provide?

We implement: AI-powered scouting and player identification, market valuations, injury risk prediction, performance analytics, opponent intelligence and pre-match reports, set piece analysis, and player development tracking.

What data sources do you use?

The same professional data feeds elite clubs use: Opta, StatsBomb, Wyscout, TransferMarkt, and others depending on your needs and budget. We connect these into one unified data architecture.

What technology do you deploy?

Enterprise data architecture connecting multiple feeds, AI and machine learning models trained on millions of data points, unified dashboards and reporting tools designed for football staff (not data scientists), and integration with your existing systems.

Implementation Process

How long does implementation take?

Core infrastructure can be deployed and staff trained within 4-8 weeks. Full optimization is ongoing as staff develop proficiency with the tools.

Do we need technical staff?

No. We build systems that existing football staff can use: scouts, analysts, coaches, sporting directors. No coding or technical background required. We train your people to use the tools effectively.

What happens after implementation?

Your staff runs the workflows independently using licensed analytics platforms. Data feed subscriptions (Opta, StatsBomb, etc.) and platform access continue via licensing. We provide documentation, training, and optional ongoing support.

How does the process work?

Three phases: (1) Infrastructure Audit where we assess current capabilities and identify priority use cases. (2) Build & Deploy where we implement the data architecture, connect feeds, and configure AI models. (3) Train & Handoff where we train staff on workflows and transition to independent operation.

Clubs & Requirements

What size clubs do you work with?

Ambitious clubs at any level who want elite-level infrastructure. From lower leagues to second-tier competitions across Europe and beyond. Clubs with management who understand modern football requires modern infrastructure.

Do you work with investor-backed clubs?

Yes. We're the technology implementation partner for investors who acquire clubs and want professional data infrastructure without building an expensive in-house team. We can work with you pre-acquisition during due diligence or post-close.

What are the requirements to work with you?

Clubs ready to compete smarter: ambitious management that understands data-driven decision making, staff willing to learn new workflows, and commitment to implementing the systems properly.

Investment & Pricing

Do you also invest in clubs?

We can co-invest if you want aligned incentives, but it's not required. Many engagements are implementation-only with a fixed project fee. The capital component of LATS is optional.

How much does implementation cost?

Implementation packages are scaled to your club's needs and budget. For context: a full-time data analyst costs €50-80k/year, a head of analytics costs €100k+. We deliver enterprise infrastructure for a fraction of building an in-house team. Contact us for specific pricing.

Are there ongoing costs?

The data feeds themselves have subscription costs (Opta, StatsBomb, etc.) which vary by provider and league coverage. After implementation, your staff runs the workflows independently using the licensed platforms, with optional ongoing support available.

Our Background

What's your track record?

Our AI scouting and analytics platform is licensed by top European clubs. The same technology that powers recruitment decisions at the highest level. We've also deployed AI tools across 50+ Fortune 500 companies.

How is this related to FootballAnalytics.ai?

FootballAnalytics.ai is our technology platform that powers the analytics capabilities. InvestFootball is the implementation arm that deploys this technology at clubs, combined with data architecture, staff training, and optional capital.
