France’s Service Central des Courses et Jeux has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sportradar, which provides detection, education and intelligence services to sport and law enforcement on integrity in sporting matches.
Under the agreement, both parties will actively engage in the exchange of expertise, statistical data, information and/or trends as they relate to sporting integrity, Sportradar said in a press release.
Moreover, the two parties will now begin exploring projects that they can collaborate on or support each other on.
“Our aim in France is to make sure that we are at the forefront of the fight against match fixers and manipulators,” said Philippe Menard, the SSCJ’s Chief. “That requires us to identify the most potent allies to help us shore up our defenses. Our informal collaborations with Sportradar to date have left us in no doubt that today’s signing is a strong statement of intent and we look forward to working closer with their specialists to safeguard French sport.”
