The collaboration involves a tie-up between one of the UK’s largest banks and a sports technology company with clients in sports leagues around the world, including the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB) in the US and 16 of the 20 teams in the English Premier League (EPL).

The partnership between the two companies will feature seamless access to stadiums and venues using facial recognition and was announced at the 2019 SEAT Conference in Daytona Beach.

The 2019 MLB London series set a high bar and raised hopes for the future of baseball in a soccer-obsessed country, where the two games drew the sport’s highest attendances in 16 years as approximately 60,000 people filled London Stadium, a Fortress client. The two-game Major League Baseball series between another Fortress client, the Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees, marked the first time regular season baseball had been played in England’s capital.

Twenty years ago, the Fortress journey began. Happy 20th Anniversary to our wonderful team around the world. And thanks to our clients, partners and friends for joining us on this fun adventure.

The Washington Nationals have selected Teamwork for their new point-of-sale technology to be featured at Nationals Park for the 2019 Major League Baseball Season. In addition, Teamwork has integrated with Fortress to offer a more personalized fan journey.

Congratulations to our client the Boston Red Sox – 2018 World Series Champions!
