LFP (Ligue de Football Professionnel) partners with Content Stadium

Content Stadium, the content creation platform for the sports industry, partners with LFP, the French professional football league, which manages Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and the Coupe de la Ligue. 

France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has chosen Content Stadium to strengthen its social media strategy and to optimise the content creation process.

With both animated templates and templates with statistics, the digital team of LFP meets the increasing demand of the football fans for faster and more profound information about the French competitions.

To import real-time match and player stats into the templates, Content Stadium connects with the API of STATS, LFP’s official statistics partner. This way, LFP can create social media graphics and animations including real-time and historical statistics in less than a minute.

With the help of the Content Stadium, we have the opportunity to share our real-time data bundled through our channels in the form of high-quality graphics and video’s.
