Abstract
In recent years, the number of technology companies providing data to football teams has multiplied. At first, the provided information focused more on physical fitness parameters, but today, ever more data is being generated on technical-tactical performance. The objective of this study was to review the studies on technical-tactical variables based on the information offered by data providers from every country’s regular elite league championship. The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards. A total of 31 studies were selected. LaLiga (27.91%) and the Premier League (18.60%) were the most studied competitions. Amisco was the company with the largest number of studies (54.84%). Descriptive studies (58.06%) predominated over comparative (22.58%) and predictive analyses (19.05%). “Style of play”, “contextual variables” (descriptive analysis), and “demarcation” (comparative analysis) were the most used objectives in the 28 studies reviewed.

Summary
Hernández-Mendo, Coral Falco, The precursors of football game analysis date back to the work of Charles Reep (1968)on the predictive models of successful passes in the English league [1,2]. On the one hand, “tracking” data offers information about the exact position of players on the pitch This information allows generating, in turn, a wide range of physical variables (not technical-tactical) such as positional synchronisation between players, which provide a significant amount of data about the game [11,12]. The performance keys of soccer, as a team sport, are predominantly technical-tactical For this reason, the second type of information offered by data providers is called “eventing”. The second type of information offered by data providers is called “eventing” It essentially covers the technical-tactical actions related to the ball: assists, counterattacks, or set piece actions [13,14]
