Paris Saint-Germain and Matchain Launch PlayerID: Smarter Athlete Data Through PSG Labs and Joint Innovation Studio

Paris Saint-Germain, in collaboration with Matchain, proudly unveils PlayerID, an innovative data platform developed through PSG Labs and the Joint Innovation Studio (JIS) link. This cutting-edge initiative redefines how professional athlete data is captured, managed, shared, and safeguarded.

PlayerID provides each athlete with a secure, unified Player Identity and Data Profile, integrated into an AI-powered platform designed to enhance decision-making for coaches, analysts, medical teams, agents, and players themselves.

Powered by MatchID technology, PlayerID 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.”
