The strongest disclosed monetary evidence concerns supplier corporate transactions—not what MLS or NWSL clubs pay. These amounts must remain outside the club-expenditure model.
What corporate deals are publicly documented?
| Announcement date | Transaction | Disclosed amount or status | Buyer-side significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17 December 2025 | Silversmith growth investment in SkillCorner | US$60m investment; the announcement does not state a company valuation | Funding supports product development and North American expansion across multiple sports. It is not soccer-only revenue or club purchasing volume. SkillCorner announcement. (landing.skillcorner.com) |
| 13 October 2025 | Catapult agreement to acquire IMPECT | Up to €78m, reported as approximately US$91m: €40m upfront plus up to €38m deferred/contingent consideration; €10m subject to performance hurdles | Distinguish maximum consideration from upfront cash. Dollar equivalents are the announcement’s conversions, not current FX. Catapult filing. (catapult.com) |
| 12 August 2024 — historical context | Hudl completed its acquisition of StatsBomb | Terms undisclosed | Establishes common ownership relevant to a Wyscout-versus-Statsbomb comparison. Hudl announcement; SBJ, 14 August 2024. (hudl.com) |
The IMPECT announcement falls just outside the trailing 12 months; the StatsBomb acquisition is older context. Both remain relevant because subsequent product integration changes what a buyer should test.
Do not add the US$60m investment to the maximum US$91m acquisition consideration and call the result market revenue, annual deal volume or enterprise value. They are different transaction measures with different perimeters.

This is a selected activity register, not a census of sales. Announcements, renewals, case studies and launches are deliberately separated. Publication dates are not assumed to be contract-start dates, and undisclosed commercial arrangements are not assumed to be full-price subscriptions.
What does consolidation mean for a renewal?
Desk inference: integrated video and analytics increase the value of testing a bundled offer against separate products. The documented Hudl and Catapult integrations support that inference, but do not prove that either bundle is cheaper or functionally complete for a particular club. Hudl integration; Catapult launch.

Ask for a retain/add/replace comparison at the entitlement level, including any change in API access, footage, exports and exit arrangements. Shared ownership alone is not proof of duplicate intelligence.
