Paris Saint-Germain and Matchain launch PlayerID : smarter athlete data through PSG Labs and Joint Innovation Studio
Paris Saint-Germain and Matchain are proud to announce their collaboration on a new project through PSG Labs and the JIS – Joint Innovation Studio : PlayerID.
This cutting-edge initiative redefines how professional athlete data is captured, managed, shared, and safeguarded. PlayerID’s main objective is to offer a secure, unifier Player Identity and Data Profile for each athlete, integrated into an AI powered platform designed to enhance decision-making for coaches, analysts, medical teams, agents, and players themselves.
PlayerID, powered by MatchID, delivers four key benefits :
• End-to-end player data ownership: Athletes can capture, manage, and control all relevant career data while directly engaging their fan communities.
• Smarter player development: Agents and clubs benefit from personalized performance insights and quality data to support career progression.
• Enhanced collaboration across departments: Streamlined, cross-functional data sharing between sporting and business teams.
• Predictive performance & injury prevention: Advanced analytics tools support optimal performance and reduce injury risk.
Developed in close cooperation with PSG’s sports and performance departments, PlayerID will later be made available to the broader global football and sports markets.
"With PSG Labs, we’re not just adopting innovation – we’re co-creating it with the best partners in the industry,” said Par Helgosson, Head of PSG Labs. “PlayerID is a concrete example of how data and technology can responsibly support athletic performance and career growth."
