🗣️ Senior Sports Scientist Francis Bunce explains why we’ve partnered with @PlayerData and @Playermakertech for the 2024/25 season 🤝

[PlayerData @PlayerData]

Referees are the unsung athletes on the pitch, constantly adapting to the evolving demands of the game. ✅

Their ability to sprint, change direction, and maintain precision under pressure is a testament to the critical role sports science plays in modern football. 🏃‍♂️⚽
