We introduce an original dataset for football analytics, adopting detailed event and performance data from the Italian Serie A season 2022/2023. The dataset integrates information from multiple sources, including whoscored.com, understat.com, and sofifa.com, through an advanced ETL process. It includes over 8,400 shot actions with variables such as pass details, player roles, pitch coordinates, and performance indices derived via a PLS-SEM approach. Preliminary analyses highlight the potential of the dataset to uncover insights into player performance and team strategies. This resource aims to support advanced research in football analytics, including extensions to the expected goals framework and evaluations of player contributions during actions.

Abstract

We introduce an original dataset for football analytics, adopting detailed event and performance data from the Italian Serie A season 2022/2023. The dataset integrates information from multiple sources, including whoscored.com, understat.com, and sofifa.com, through an advanced ETL process. It includes over 8,400 shot actions with variables such as pass details, player roles, pitch coordinates, and performance indices derived via a PLS-SEM approach. Preliminary analyses highlight the potential of the dataset to uncover insights into player performance and team strategies. This resource aims to support advanced research in football analytics, including extensions to the expected goals framework and evaluations of player contributions during actions.
