Atos becomes Official Technology Partner of UEFA National Team
Football until 2030
This momentous 8-year partnership is
unprecedented in the scope of support for UEFA and its
competitions
Paris, France – December 8, 2022 -
Atos today announces that it has become the Official Technology
Partner for UEFA National Team Football (UNTF). This new momentous
8-year cutting-edge partnership to deliver technological support
for UNTF and its competitions will be fundamental to the
organization’s technological evolution.
As football competitions become more connected
and more widely viewed across Europe and beyond, a strong
technology partner will aid UEFA to face technological challenges
and continuously introduce efficiencies and innovations. As part of
this partnership, Atos will help UEFA manage, improve, and optimize
its complex technology landscape and operations with the overall
aim of organizing and supporting national team football events over
the coming years, including UEFA EURO, UEFA Nations League Finals,
European Qualifiers, U-21 Championships, and Futsal EURO.
To help achieve these aims, Atos brings its vast
experience in the sports sector combined with its technological
expertise and understanding of the global sports ecosystem in order
to deal with critical data and IT systems during major events.
Atos is the Worldwide IT Partner of the Olympic
Games and is now working on the preparation of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games Paris 2024. Atos is also the official Technology
and Digital Services Partner of the European Olympic Committee for
the next editions of the European Games until 2027.
Providing a comprehensive and secure
end-to-end IT solution
Atos will be responsible for maintaining and
evolving UEFA’s critical application landscape to deliver
services for UEFA’s main national team football events. Atos will
also bring its expertise in the field of sports and major events to
support UEFA in all activities related to IT planning,
organization, and operations.
UEFA organizes some of the most prestigious and
visible events in the sports industry. To provide the best possible
experience for all stakeholders, cybersecurity is critical.
Atos will be responsible for managing and securing the underlaying
hybrid-cloud environment and the infrastructure required to host
UEFA’s services, applications, and data. Atos will leverage its
world-class cybersecurity services, from identity and access
management to advanced incident detection and response, to
anticipate, monitor and remediate any potential threats in real
time.
In addition to the activities related to the
organization of UEFA events, Atos will also provide a full range of
services – with advanced digital workplace, user support and
network solutions – to optimize UEFA’s IT operations and
improve the internal user experience. Atos will work closely with
UEFA in all these areas to support its business strategy and bring
efficiency and innovation to its IT environment for the benefit of
fans and the entire football family in Europe.
"We are pleased to advance into a new phase of
technological growth with this partnership with Atos and look
forward to working alongside Atos’ teams over the coming years,"
said Stephane Igolen, Services and Management Director,
UEFA.
“The world is becoming more digitalized and with
Atos onboard as our technology partner, we are ensuring we will
have all the necessary technological expertise to successfully
deliver our competitions to the millions of fans around the globe.”
said Guy-Laurent Epstein, Marketing Director, UEFA.
“I am delighted that Atos' sporting history
continues to be written on new fields! Football is the most popular
sport in Europe, and we are committed to making it even more
visible and accessible to all by working with UEFA to accelerate
its digital transformation. This is a major win for Atos and proves
that the Group is well positioned to work hand in hand with new
customers over the long term,” said Nourdine Bihmane, Co-CEO in
charge of Tech Foundations, Atos.
“Our teams will leverage their expertise in
cloud, cybersecurity, integration, digital sovereignty, and digital
workplace services to manage and modernize UEFA’s digital backbone
to deliver outstanding events for the benefit of all football fans.
Today a new great sporting and technological story has begun!”
