This transaction marks a significant milestone for both companies. SportsTG has long held the ambition to become a truly global player and a world leader in grassroots sport technology.

Together, SportsTG and Blue Star Sports provides a full-service global offering that makes grassroots sports clubs a better experience for everyone involved – players, parents, coaches, teams, administrators of clubs, leagues, tournaments, governing bodies and associations from youth to professional level - all around the world.

Blue Star Sports founder and Chief Executive Rob Wechsler “over the past year, we’ve been focusing our efforts on building the best collection of sports technology companies in the youth sports ecosystem.

“SportsTG fits perfectly with that vision we’ve established here at Blue Star Sports.

With over 5.8 million people regularly access the SportsTG network, Chief Executive Glen McGoldrick expects this engagement to grow as new resources are made available through the partnership.

McGoldrick added “we’re excited to be combining forces with the world leader in grassroots sports technology.
