This specialization explores the technologies transforming modern football, from advanced data analysis and machine learning to AI-powered scouting and next-generation performance systems. Across four applied courses, learners will trace the evolution of football analytics, build essential statistical and technical foundations, examine real-world tactical and scouting case studies, and discover the emerging innovations that will shape how teams train, recruit, and compete in the future.
The curriculum integrates event data, tracking data, live data, and machine-learning techniques with cutting-edge tools such as Large Language Models, computer vision, web scraping, contextual load monitoring, and automated tactical recognition. Through examples from elite football and pioneering research, learners will understand how AI is reshaping decision-making across performance analysis, talent ID, recruitment, coaching, strategy, and club operations.
Developed for analysts, coaches, scouts, and professionals seeking to future-proof their skills, the specialization emphasizes practical implementation. Across each module, learners apply concepts to match situations, evaluate data workflows, and experiment with emerging technologies. By completing the program, they will gain a forward-looking, industry-ready understanding of how technology, automation, and intelligent systems will redefine performance and competitive advantage in football.
应用的学习项目
Throughout this specialization, learners will reinforce their understanding of football analytics and emerging technologies through practical, hands-on projects at the end of each module. These applied tasks invite learners to analyze match situations, interpret real football datasets, build simple analytical workflows, and experiment with AI-driven tools such as machine learning models, computer vision outputs, and automated scouting methods.
By completing these exercises, learners will deepen their ability to connect analytical concepts with real-world football contexts while strengthening essential skills such as critical thinking, interpretation, and communication. These projects are designed to prepare learners for the data-driven, technology-focused roles that are becoming increasingly vital across the modern football industry.
