Over 1,000 matches of event-level football data across major international and domestic competitions. The dataset categorizes millions of actions including passes, shots, and defensive pressures with precise spatial coordinates.
Use Cases
- Train a shot-prediction model using the 'location', 'body_part', and 'shot_type' columns
- Analyze team passing patterns by visualizing 'pass_end_location' and 'player_id' sequences
- Quantify defensive intensity by aggregating 'pressure' events across specific pitch zones
- Evaluate goalkeeper positioning and shot-stopping ability using the 'goalkeeper' and 'shot_end_location' fields
Strengths
- Includes (x, y) coordinates for every event via the 'location' column
- Features 'shot_statsbomb_xg' for pre-calculated expected goals analysis
- Provides 'freeze_frame' arrays containing the positions of all players during a shot
- Covers multiple seasons of the FA Women's Super League and the 2018/2022 FIFA World Cups
