OKLAHOMA CITY (Jan. 24, 2024) – The Women’s Premier Soccer League has partnered with Hudl, a global leader in performance analysis technology, to become the WPSL’s Exclusive Performance Technology and Fan Engagement Partner, the league announced today. Through this partnership, the WPSL will have access to Hudl’s full suite of video and data products available to help with player development, recruiting, and coaching — ensuring all WPSL athletes get the shot they deserve.
“Securing this partnership with Hudl will boast advantageous opportunities for our teams, our players, and our fans for not just the 2024 season, but seasons to come,” DeBray Ayala, WPSL vice president, said.
“We continue to commit ourselves to advancing the women’s game and establishing a platform that promotes and elevates opportunities for our teams and players, and Hudl sharing this vision makes this partnership all the more valuable.”
With this partnership, the WPSL and Hudl will launch a league video exchange platform for all WPSL members – the WPSL Exchange. This platform is a free video library that allows teams to seamlessly share game footage for scouting and training purposes. This footage will be accessible on any device and allow WPSL coaches and players to better prepare for competition throughout the season.
“We are so excited to launch our partnership with the Women's Premier Soccer League, continuing our objective of working with the best organizations in the industry and investing in the growth of women's soccer,” Rachel Krasnow, Hudl head of strategic partnerships, said.
This partnership also includes livestreaming capabilities that Hudl will make easier for teams by having all games available live and on-demand from a designated WPSL page with the platform post-competition. Hudl will also provide exclusive partner pricing, video analysis, and automatic capture of events via Hudl Focus Flex — the hands-free portable smart camera for soccer.
“We [Hudl] look forward to enhancing the experience for WPSL coaches, athletes, and their families through livestreaming, league video exchange, and data analysis helping to take their top talent to the next level,” Krasnow said.
