“Building a season calendar requires balancing the sporting needs of the clubs, respecting the requirements of supporters, broadcasters, competitions and regions, in an increasingly complex environment,” said Lega Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo. “Fastbreak provides us with powerful tools to more efficiently navigate that complexity. Their technology is proven to manage the scheduling demands of the world’s leading sports organizations and will help us deliver a match list that puts all the needs we receive and must consider at the heart of the scheduling process.”
Fastbreak’s technology powers the schedules of more than 65 of the world’s top professional sports leagues, including the NBA, NHL, MLB, and NRL, so Serie A selected Fastbreak to deliver a smarter, more efficient season structure that better considers clubs’ needs and preferences while optimizing the placement of marquee matches across the calendar.
“Our technology is built to give sports leagues the flexibility and control to meet the evolving demands of creating a season-long schedule,” said Jon Stewart, co-founder and CEO of Fastbreak AI. “With some of the most competitive clubs in world football competing in Serie A, it is important that we have a solution that efficiently addresses the needs of teams and athletes while maintaining the integrity of the competition. We are proud to partner with the league to help deliver matches that reflect these priorities.”
