Koach Hub and Traveller Football Academy unite

• Initiative for tech-driven transformation for Sri Lankan football

Sri Lankan football is poised for an exciting new chapter. Koach Hub, a leading force in sports technology, has joined forces with Traveller Football Academy in a pioneering partnership. Koach Hub Chairman and Oensys Capital Founding CEO Faiq Faaiz, along with Traveller Global Chairman and Sounders SC President Rizmi Reyal met on 4 June to sign the agreement, officially commencing the union.

This collaboration promises to revolutionise football management by leveraging cutting-edge technology to elevate player development and overall performance across the nation.

In reference to this partnership, Traveller Football Club Director Afzal Roomy Raheem expressed the following, “The Traveller Football Academy started in 2017 as a CSR project, and now the academy players have been absorbed into The Traveller Football Club, thus promoting continuity. The Club’s Management is seeking to enhance efficiency and has initiated the process of integrating technology into the realm of football. These advantages are highlighted below as Football clubs are increasingly collaborating with software companies to enhance their operations and fan experiences. These partnerships often involve the implementation of cutting-edge technology to streamline internal communications, manage data, and improve decision-making processes. 

For instance, Manchester City has extended its partnership with Qualtrics to better understand fan feedback and improve match day experiences, FC Bayern Munich has extended its partnership with SAP to support business processes and fan engagement, while Real Madrid and HP announced historic global collaboration. Similarly, AC Milan has renewed its partnership with Iterpro to digitise internal processes and leverage data-driven insights for strategic decisions.”

This partnership signifies a powerful union, driven by a shared vision to propel Sri Lankan football forward through innovation. Koach Hub’s expertise in sports technology will be combined with the Academy’s established training programs. Together, we hope to create a dynamic environment where data-driven insights and pioneering solutions will empower coaches, optimise player performance and nurture new possibilities for player development.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Traveller Football Club onboard Koach Hub. To find out more about their vision and the activities they engage in particularly within the Gampola region in Sri Lanka is very impressive and inspiring. We look forward to this collaboration where we get to unite our mission to take football to greater heights. By partnering with Koach Hub, the Club joins a movement which is revolutionising the game in multiple nations. And with this partnership, we at Koach are eager to see sports technology streamline club management and unlock player potential like never before in Sri Lanka,” commented Koach Hub Co-founder Faiq Faaiz.
