Facebook has acquired SportStream, a start-up firm that analyses social media mentions of sport.
The social networking site said that SportStream enables users to aggregate, filter and display "real-time" data.
The acquisition is expected to make it easier for Facebook's media partners to find posts about sport on its website and use them in their content.
The move is being seen as an attempt by Facebook to be a real-time social content provider like rival Twitter.
