The partnership will give WPSL teams access to Track160’s three layers of analysis – performance, video, and sports science. Track160’s platform has met the league’s high standards of data quality and ease of deployment at stadiums of all sizes. According to Track160 CEO, Eyal Ben Ari, “it’s time to level the playing field” when it comes to equality between men and women’s sports.

Since its launch in 1998, the WPSL has been committed to advancing women’s soccer by establishing more avenues of opportunity. Now, with the game experiencing significant growth that has allowed female athletes access to pro-level soccer analytics, Track160 will contribute more to the sport through promotion and creating new opportunities for women in sports analysis and leadership roles on both sides of the field including officiating, coaching, and other soccer initiatives.
