THE CHALLENGE

  • Analytics FC partnered with the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) to create a course aimed at equipping students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the field of football data analysis.

  • The curriculum aimed to simplify the often complex world of football data analysis, improve students’ ability to interpret data, communicate insights, and use real-life examples to ground their learning in practice.

  • The content for the modules was created by a team of experts with real-world experience in the field of football data analysis, including club data scientists, sporting directors, agents, and data-journalists.

THE RESULT

  • The workshop syllabus was relevant and grounded in real-world scenarios, touching upon data analytics across a range of football use-cases.

  • By exploring various use-cases, students were able to develop an understanding of how data can be applied to real-world situations in football.

  • The workshop equipped students with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently use data in their day-to-day work in professional football.
