TY - JOUR TI - ANALYZING COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOURS IN FIFA WORLD CUP QATAR 2022 AB - Performance analysis is integral to modern football, providing data-driven insights for enhancing strategies, player development, and tactical behaviour. Collective behaviours in football, akin to natural systems, have gained attention. Team coordination, passing networks, and player movement dynamics are critical for analysing performance and team cohesion. Factors such as team length and width contribute to understanding collective behaviour. This study explores factors influencing teams' performance in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, including ball possession, field zones, team width, team length, distance to the goal line, and area covered by the team. This study examined 64 matches played among the 32 teams. Analysis reveals the significance of goal-scoring ability, highlighting that winning teams score significantly more goals than draws and losses. Contrary to common belief, ball possession percentages do not significantly differ among these outcomes, indicating its nuanced role. Within possession and out-of-possession phases, strategies like line height, team length, and team depth vary little across different outcomes, suggesting the effectiveness of balanced approaches. In the final third phase, winning teams employ higher defensive lines and deeper formations. In conclusion, this study illuminates the multifaceted nature of football performance. Goal-scoring ability and field zone-specific strategies play pivotal roles. Ball possession's influence is more complex than previously thought. Understanding these dynamics can inform teams and coaches for more informed and effective performance optimization, emphasizing the need for nuanced analysis and future research.
