Alan Franco: The Passing Data at Internacional 2023
International football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and it's no surprise that the International Federation of Football (FIFA) has been working hard to ensure that the sport remains exciting and engaging for fans everywhere.
One of the key ways that FIFA has been able to achieve this is by using technology to improve the game. One such innovation is passing data, which allows teams to track the movements of their players on the field and gain valuable insights into how they can improve their play.
This concept was introduced at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where FIFA implemented a system called "Passing Analysis" that allowed teams to see real-time footage of their opponents' passes and receive feedback on areas of improvement. This helped teams to adjust their strategies and make more informed decisions during games.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, FIFA continued to push the boundaries of technology in passing analysis with the introduction of "Passing Performance Analysis," which provided teams with detailed statistics on their passing performance and recommended improvements to be made.
Alan Franco, CEO of PassLogic, a company that specializes in developing advanced analytics solutions for sports, believes that passing data will become even more important in the future as teams look to optimize their strategies and gain a competitive edge over their rivals.
"I believe that passing data will continue to evolve and become more sophisticated in the coming years, as we continue to gather more and more data on player movement and behavior," said Franco. "We're already seeing some interesting trends emerge, such as the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze player movements and predict where they'll be going next."
As FIFA continues to work towards improving the game, it's clear that passing data will play a vital role in achieving this goal. By providing teams with real-time information about their opponents' passing patterns, passing data can help them to make better decisions on the pitch and increase their chances of success.
