World Aquatics has entered into a
two-year partnership with Sportradar Integrity Services, a global supplier of
sport integrity solutions to more than 180 sports organisations and state
authorities, to monitor international water polo matches.
More than 450 matches will be
monitored under the terms of the agreement, including the Men’s and Women’s
Water Polo Tournaments at the World Aquatics Championships, the Men’s and
Women’s U20 Championships, and the Men’s and Women’s Water Polo World Cups. The
competitions have and will continue to be covered by Sportradar’s Universal
Fraud Detection System (UFDS), a proven AI-driven bet monitoring system which
has helped identify more than 8,000 suspicious matches across other sports
during the last 18 years.
World Aquatics, Executive Director,
Brent J. Nowicki, said: “We are firmly dedicated to protecting our competitions
from integrity threats, particularly as we move closer to the Paris 2024
Olympic Games. The depth of knowledge that Sportradar Integrity Services
provides through its UFDS platform and expert team puts us in a great position
to mitigate any betting-related issues that may arise across our competitions.”

Managing Director Andreas Krannich added: “In recent years we have seen match
fixers infiltrate an ever-increasing range of global sports at various levels
of competition, including youth events. Aquatic sports are not immune to such
integrity threats, and we are committed to providing the strongest integrity
provisions using our technology to protect World Aquatics water polo
competitions over the next two years.”
