Sportradar-fecha-partnership-with-a-Associacao-Uruguaia-de-Futebol

The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) signed an agreement with Sportradar to implement a monitoring system to detect possible manipulation of matches and results.

This system is already operating in the First Professional Division and the Second Professional Division, under an agreement the company signed with FIFA and CONMEBOL in 2017.

The agreement seeks to extend the protected tournaments to the Third Division and Under-19, important categories for the generation of future talent in Uruguay.

The risk of competitions with less public exposure has increased globally and in the region; likewise, the effects of the pandemic have hit the entire world hard, encouraging the emergence of this problem.

In this sense, Sportradar will collaborate with the AUF to combat game manipulation, providing its sports betting fraud detection tool.
