Explore the game-changing role of data in contemporary football, as we explore how advanced metrics like expected goals (xG), passing accuracy, and player tracking have revolutionised the sport. We discuss how this data-driven approach empowers coaches, analysts, and teams to make informed decisions that lead to victory.
As the presentation concludes, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a sample of football data and actively participate in hands-on exercises. If possible please bring a laptop to get involved.
