Schaffhausen – Manchester City Football Club has entered into a global technology partnership with Acronis, a software company from Schaffhausen. Acronis will assist the football club with data backup and storage capabilities, both which are becoming increasingly important to football teams in this day and age.

Technology plays an important role today in top flight football, with teams relying on data to review their own performance or analyze the opposition. In fact, during the days leading up to important matches, Manchester City players can review historical data with their coaches in the locker room and make last-minute adjustments to the playbook.

Manchester City is now partnering with Acronis to manage this data. The Schaffhausen-based software company will help the football club enhance and develop its data backup and storage capabilities, opening up new opportunities for what can be done with all available data and helping the club reach new goals, writes Acronis.

“Acronis shares City’s passion for innovation and utilizing the latest technologies, and we look forward to working with them as our partnership progresses,” said Damian Willoughby, senior vice president of partnership at City Football Group.
