Menlo Park, California and Bishan, Singapore – January 24, 2025, Kitman Labs, the global enterprise SaaS platform providing the only single, centralized operating system for performance intelligence in sports, today renewed and expanded its partnership with Lion City Sailors F.C.
Lion City Sailors F.C. (LCS) will utilise the Coaching and Development Solution in the Kitman Labs Intelligence Platform across the Men’s First Team and Academy Squads (U10-21). The Coaching & Development Solution will advance LCS’s ability to optimize player pathways and identify talent earlier in the development cycle, enable more informed succession planning, accelerate their talent development pipeline, and better prepare players for the rigors of the first team. LCS coaches and practitioners will be able to create individualized development programs while establishing an objective, data-driven benchmarking system for player progression.
Lion City Sailors will continue to utilize the Performance Medicine and Performance Optimization solutions – combining medical, performance, and now, coaching and development data in a single, integrated platform designed to unify the Club from the Academy to the First Team. By unifying all data and analytics in a singular operating system, practitioners and stakeholders across the Organisation will have access to shared data and shared intelligence in real-time – enabling cross departmental collaboration and communication while providing the insights necessary to support both strategic and tactical decision-making at every level of the Club.
Lion City Sailor’s Head of Data Analysis, Qixiang He, said: “Kitman Labs has become a key part of our daily workflow in the club, particularly in helping us to integrate our Performance data – which includes a large inflow of GPS, physical testing, athlete wellbeing, and medical data. Other than its core functionalities as a data management system, its agility in being able to integrate data from various other data partners such as VALD Performance and other GPS providers has been immensely helpful, given the number of players we have with the various Singaporean National Teams across the Academy and the First Team. With these functionalities and the ever-growing list of new functions, Kitman Labs has now slowly become a crucial contributor to the key decision-making processes within the club.”
“We are delighted to be extending our relationship with one of Singapore’s leading football clubs, Lion City Sailors F.C. The Club has garnered a reputation for being an innovator and adopter of cutting-edge data science in the Singapore football market. The extension of our partnership will see us continue to support the Club in its efforts to empower informed decision-making by its staff, coaches, practitioners and players on and off the pitch and to ultimately help realize its vision for developing the next generation of Singapore – and global – football talent”, said Stephen Smith, CEO and Founder of Kitman Labs.
Kitman Labs has an established track record of working with top teams and leagues across a variety of sports, including soccer, basketball, rugby, and American football. The company’s technology is in use by some of the world’s most elite soccer organizations, including Bayer Leverkusen, Fulham F.C., Chelsea F.C., Ipswich Town F.C., and Liverpool F.C. Kitman Labs recently announced the launch and deployment of The Football Intelligence Platform across all Premier League Academies.
The company represents the industry’s largest network of elite and youth organizations (2,000+) and the industry’s largest dataset of talent, performance, and medical data for all stages of the athlete lifecycle.
