Sports analytics

Our group

In the field of sports analytics, scientific research, economics and lively social interest meet, so sports analytics is becoming an increasingly popular field of research, development and business.  Our Sports Analytics research group currently consists of 2 PhD, 4 MSc and 2 BSc students. To expand the group, we are waiting for students to apply!

Based on match statistics and event logs, as well as multi-camera video footage, we build models to understand players, teams, tactics and predict decisive events.  Among others, we are also looking for answers to such complex questions: How can AI models be used to help improve a team's performance?  Does a given player fit the unique style of a particular team or play system? Did the player make a statistically supported decision in a given situation? What is driving the transfer and player evaluation market?

Our answers to such questions are exciting for both the casual viewer and die-hard fan, but we put the emphasis on helping the work of coaches, player observers and players.
