Andrew Bogut-Backed Athoz Expands to Australia, Signs NRL, NBL, and AFL Teams

Athlete intelligence platform signs top-tier Australian teams following major investment from NBA Champion Andrew Bogut.

August 18, 2026 - Athoz, the premier athlete intelligence platform, today announced its official expansion into the Australian sports market. The company has signed agreements with multiple organizations across the National Rugby League (NRL), National Basketball League (NBL), and Australian Football League (AFL).

The international expansion is bolstered by a significant investment from NBA Champion Andrew Bogut, who joins Athoz as a major investor and strategic partner in the region.

For Australian teams, Athoz serves as a centralized hub that turns complex athletic data into clear, actionable insights. By streamlining how teams evaluate talent and track player readiness, the platform empowers NRL, NBL, and AFL coaches to make faster, smarter decisions about roster management and player development.

“Athoz is dedicated to giving teams the intelligence they need to build winning rosters, and expanding into Australia is a major milestone for our platform,” said Robert de Wolff, CEO of Athoz. “Having an NBA Champion and elite athlete like Andrew Bogut recognize that value and be instrumental in introducing our technology to these top-tier leagues is incredibly validating.”

For Bogut and his team, the decision to back Athoz and introduce it to Australia's premier leagues was immediate.

“When I first heard about Athoz, I knew right away it would be a must-have for all Australian sports teams and leagues,” Bogut noted. “Teams in the NRL, NBL, AFL and so on already operate at an incredibly high level, but giving them access to this caliber of personalized team-level intelligence is a game-changer. It will directly raise their performance standards, fast, and help them maximize every athlete's potential and build even more dominant rosters.”

This expansion into Australia follows Athoz's recent acquisition of Optimum Scouting, further accelerating the platform's mission to give athletic departments and professional teams the data and insights necessary to move first and move smart.
