Menlo Park, California and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia November 13, 2024 – Kitman Labs, the global enterprise SaaS platform providing the only single, centralised operating system for performance intelligence in Sports, has today agreed to a partnership with legendary Saudi Pro League football club, Al-Hilal SFC.
A 19x Winner of the Saudi Arabian Domestic League, 13x Saudi Crown Prince Cup Winner, and 10x Saudi King Cup Winner, Al-Hilal is one of the oldest and most celebrated football clubs in the nation. Al-Hilal will utilise the Performance Medicine and Performance Optimisation Solutions in iP: Intelligence Platform, combining medical and performance data in a single, integrated platform designed to unlock player health, wellness and performance outcomes across the Men’s and Women’s First Teams.
Unlike any other EMR or AMS currently available on the market, iP: Intelligence Platform is the only platform natively designed and developed to unify medical and performance data in one singular advanced operating system, providing Al-Hilal with a comprehensive, real-time 360° view of all of its First Team players from a health, readiness and performance perspective. The platform aggregates all data and data sources into one centralised operating system, converting data into insights and practical, actionable intelligence that can be employed across the organisation.
All staff, coaches and practitioners – including the Physio, Performance and Medical Departments, will utilise the shared platform as their single source of truth, eliminating information silos, ensuring data consistency and integrity and driving informed collaboration and communication across Departments. The resulting analytics will help inform data-led, evidence-based decision-making on and off the pitch.
“Our partnership with Al-Hilal represents one of our first in the Saudi Pro League and we couldn’t be more honoured to be working with one of the country’s longest serving football clubs with a leadership team that is clearly establishing itself at the vanguard of innovation and sports science. The deployment of the Intelligence Platform across the Men’s and Women’s First Teams will help players, coaches and practitioners alike take a data-driven approach to developing more effective rehab and return-to-play plans, manage player load and training regimens, and gain objective insights into injury reduction strategy and treatment. The team will be equipped with the tooling necessary to inform decision-making related to every aspect of player care, development and performance optimization.” said Stephen Smith, CEO and Founder of Kitman Labs.
Kitman Labs has an established track record of working with top teams and leagues across a variety of sports, including soccer, basketball, rugby, and American football. The company’s technology is in use by some of the world’s most elite soccer organisations, including Bayer Leverkusen, Ipswich Town F.C., Fulham F.C., Chelsea F.C. and Liverpool F.C. Kitman Labs recently announced the launch and deployment of The Football Intelligence Platform across all Premier League Academies.
iP: Intelligence Platform represents the industry’s largest dataset of talent, performance, and medical data for all stages of the athlete lifecycle.
