패스정보를 활용한 월드컵 경기 특성 분석 : 2022 카타르 월드컵을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in game results, tournament advancement, and continental characteristics using the game records of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. To achieve the aim of the study, a total of 64 games played by 32 teams were analyzed. SPSS version 25.0 was used for data collection and statistical analysis, and statistical significance was set at p.05. The study found that, first, there were no significant differences in pass information (attempts, completions, completion rate) and ball touches by region of the football field according to game results (win, draw, loss). Second, differences were found in variables such as pass distance, attempts and completions of short passes, completion rate of short and long passes, successful midfield ball touches, and attacking field ball touches, depending on whether the team advanced to the round of 16. Lastly, differences were found in all variables except for defensive area ball touches when comparing continental characteristics, especially between Asia and Europe, and Europe and Africa. Based on these results, the flow of world football can be inferred, and it is recommended to conduct research based on game situations, rather than just overall game information, to further examine the differences in game results.
