Abstract

According to the records of the FIFA World Cup champion's lists, the top roles were played and led by turns by Europe and South America for hundreds of years. Therefore, in this research, in order to provide the evidence of reference for promoting the soccer level in Asia, we collected, analyzed and compared the 184 soccer players in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. There were a half of these 184 soccer players from four teams in Europe, and there also were 92 soccer players from four teams in South America. In this study, the first main purpose was to analyze the homogeneities of athletics ability of the soccer players between in Europe and South America by their age, height, weight, and BMI. And the second main purpose, we tried to find the evidence of the homogeneities of the soccer player's athletics ability in Europe and South America by analyzing age, height, weight, and BMI of the Goalkeeper, Forward, Midfielder, and Defender. Though the statistical methods, t-test and two-way ANOVA, we found that the difference of height and weight from the soccer players between in Europe and South America would affect their athletics ability in soccer (P-value<0.05). But the homogeneities for age and BMI from the soccer players between in Europe and South America would explain the same characters from the top level soccer teams of the FIFA World Cup(P-value>0.05). The more detail results and conclusions would be displayed later in this paper. From those results and conclusions, we expected that it was enough to provide the information for promoting the soccer player's athletics ability in Asia, and for evaluating the soccer players to organize a team by coaches, or as the reference for the related researches.
