In this repository you can find sample tracking and event data that exemplify the Elite data package we offer. The idea of this data is twofold:
- to allow potential clients to check out this data and get familiar with our formats and data quality.
- to provide some sample data to play around with to the broader football analytics community!
- At the moment there are two games in our standard CSV format, in the coming days we will add the same data in the standar FIFA format.
- The data of these two games is anonymized, meaning there are no references to the names of players, teams or competitions.
- You'll see the data goes from 0 to 1 on each axis. The coordiante (0,0) is the top left, (1,1) is the bottom right, and (0.5,0.5) is the kick off point.
- The dimensions of the field are the same for both games: 105x68 meters.
- For the events, in the
documentationfolder you can find a pdf file with the definition and explanation of all our events types and subtypes. - Tracking and event data are synchronized.
