Serie A, the top flight of Italian men’s professional club football, has announced a multi-year partnership with Fastbreak AI, a sports operations firm powered by artificial intelligence.

The partnership will see Serie A use Fastbreak AI’s software platform to manage fixture demands, meet clubs’ needs, and optimise competitive balance. 

Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Calcio Serie A, commented:

Fastbreak gives us a powerful tool to navigate that complexity more efficiently. Their technology is proven to manage the scheduling demands of the world’s leading sports organizations and will help us deliver a fixture list that places all the needs we receive and have to consider at the center of the scheduling process.”

“Our technology is built to give sports leagues the flexibility and control to meet the evolving demands that go into creating a season-long schedule. With some of global football’s most competitive clubs competing in Serie A, a solution that can efficiently account for the needs of the teams and athletes while preserving competitive integrity is critical. We’re proud to partner with the league to help deliver fixtures that reflect those priorities.”
