Connectome and Como 1907 are pleased to announce a partnership that will see Connectome deployed across the club’s performance and player development environments, introducing a new longitudinal approach to understanding cognitive performance in football.

This partnership is built on a shared commitment to performance, innovation, and athlete development. Como 1907 players will undergo repeated brain measurements over time, enabling performance staff to better understand how cognitive function evolves in response to training, match play, travel, and recovery across the season.

Beyond the pitch, this partnership reflects a shared ambition to advance how performance is understood in elite sport by incorporating the brain alongside existing physical and tactical analysis. By combining Connectome’s longitudinal inference system with Como’s high performance environment, the collaboration aims to build a more complete picture of how players develop, adapt, and perform under real world conditions.

Mo Dabbah, CTO at Como 1907:

“We already measure the physical and tactical aspects of performance at a very high level. The real opportunity now is in better understanding cognitive load and decision-making over time. Brain health isn’t a ‘nice to have’, it’s fundamental to how players develop, adapt, and perform and it’s an area we’re excited to explore more deeply.”

Through this partnership, Connectome will be integrated into existing performance workflows. This includes supporting player development by tracking changes over time, providing additional context around fatigue and recovery during demanding periods, and contributing to injury recovery and return to play processes.

Over time, the partnership will enable the club to explore how cognitive patterns relate to on pitch behaviours such as responsiveness, consistency, and decision making under pressure. The focus is not on one off assessments, but on building a structured understanding of each player over time within the context of elite competition.

By joining forces, Connectome and Como 1907 aim to contribute to a broader shift in sport, where cognitive performance is understood as a core component of athlete development and long term success.
