• Abstract: The global sports analytics industry has a market value of USD 3.78 billion in 2023. The increase of wearables such as GPS sensors has provided analysts with large fine-grained datasets detailing player performance. Traditional analysis of this data focuses on individual athletes with measures of internal and external loading such as distance covered in speed zones or rate of perceived exertion. However these metrics do not provide enough information to understand team dynamics within field sports. The spatio-temporal nature of match play necessitates an investment in date-engineering to adequately transform the data into a suitable format to extract features such as areas of activity. In this paper we present an approach to construct Time-Window Spatial Activity Graphs (TWGs) for field sports. Using GPS data obtained from Gaelic Football matches we demonstrate how our approach can be utilised to extract spatio-temporal features from GPS sensor data

• Automatic event detection in football using tracking data [0.0]
  We propose a framework to automatically extract football events using tracking data, namely the coordinates of all players and the ball. Our approach consists of two models: (1) the possession model evaluates which player was in possession of the ball at each time, as well as the distinct player configurations in the time intervals where the ball is not in play.

We illustrate that football analytics is a game changer of tremendous value, in terms of not only changing the game of football itself, but also in terms of what this domain can mean for the field of AI.

  Group activity detection in soccer can be done by using either video data or player and ball trajectory data. In current soccer datasets, activities are labelled as atomic events without a duration. Our results show that most events can be detected using either vision or trajectory-based approaches with a temporal resolution of less than 0.5 seconds.
