Starting this season, Sofascore will introduce Running Performance – a new set of physical statistics available for the UEFA Champions League.

This feature brings something our users have been asking for: clear data on how much players run, how fast they go, and how often they sprint.

What’s Included in Running Performance?

Running Performance will show three key stats for each player:

• Total distance covered (in kilometers)
• Top speed reached (in km/h)
• Number of sprints during the match

These metrics give fans a better view of a player’s physical contribution – something that doesn’t always show up in goals or assists.

Where Will It Be Available?

The feature will be available for all matches in the UEFA Champions League. This is the most followed competition in the world, and on our platform, and now users will be able to track how much running is involved at the top level.

You’ll be able to see which midfielders cover the most ground, which attackers reach the highest speeds, and how hard players work over 90 minutes.

Why It Matters

Running stats are one of the most frequently requested metrics from our community. Whether you’re watching a high-pressing team or following a player known for their stamina, these numbers help explain the game in more detail.

Running Performance adds value for:

• Fans who want to understand player effort
• Coaches to prepare for matches more efficiently
• Analysts, and scouts tracking fitness and intensity
• Fantasy football users looking for new insights

And it’s not just for specialists, it makes the viewing experience better for everyone.

A Step Forward in Match Analysis

This update is part of our ongoing goal: making football analysis more complete and accessible. From technical skills to tactical roles and now physical performance, we want to offer a full picture of what happens on the pitch.

Running Performance is now part of that story.
