(REUTERS) – A new performance analysis service, which FIFA announced on Friday, will allow all participating teams, fans, and media to access detailed match data, graphics, and video from every World Cup game in Qatar.
The service, developed by the High Performance Unit of FIFA and headed by Arsene Wenger, head of global football development, will provide analysis on 11 parameters, such as expected goals, possession control, and phases of play.
According to FIFA, each game will have a distinct set of in-game and post-game improved football intelligence images that are presented in augmented reality and standard graphics.
These updated statistics give operational definitions, several video examples, and granular breakdowns of every aspect of the game.
FIFA has also established a dedicated teaching website that offers thorough video breakdowns of each metric.
Wenger, a former Arsenal manager, claimed that making the information accessible was done to allow “everyone to comprehend the game more fully.
“Enhanced football intelligence” will serve as the model for future football analysis, he continued.
“We’d like to present our idea for developing a new football intelligence by combining technical expert interpretation with statistical analysis of football data.
“My team will continue to produce fresh and perceptive football analysis content to aid in the dissemination of new knowledge of the game combined with performance data, video examples, and technical explanations,” the statement reads.
