IFS, a provider of Industrial AI software, has announced a multi-year global partnership with Chelsea Football Club. As part of the agreement, IFS will step up as the club’s principal partner with immediate effect, with its branding appearing on the front of Chelsea’s shirts for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
IFS specialises in applying artificial intelligence to solve complex, real-world operational challenges and deliver measurable outcomes for organisations. Under the partnership, the company will deploy its software and AI-driven solutions across Chelsea’s operations, aiming to enhance efficiency, optimise decision-making and improve performance across multiple areas of the club’s activities, according to the official release.
Chelsea president Jason Gannon said, “We are incredibly proud to partner with IFS and leverage their leading edge AI software to help propel the club to even greater success. This partnership is a statement of intent to keep leading in this field, harnessing the opportunities advanced technology brings and unlocking the power of AI to improve everything we do on and off the pitch.”
IFS chief executive officer Mark Moffat added, “In sport as in industry, the margins are small, the stakes are high, and the right decision at the right moment is everything. That’s what IFS Industrial AI delivers for the industries that power the global economy. Chelsea FC holds itself to that same uncompromising standard, and that shared ambition is exactly why we’re proud to be their Principal Partner.”
