As part of our ongoing initiative to support the education and development of the next generation of analysts, today we're releasing Hudl Statsbomb event and 360 data from the recent Euro 2024 tournament, for free.
The dataset contains the same event data used by our customers, at roughly 3,400 events per game on average, across all 51 matches in the tournament. We're also including 360 Data in the release: our tactical event data that contains the location of all players in the visible frame around each event. The 360 frames add critical context and enable deeper and more meaningful analysis than is possible using only the event data.
There's plenty of opportunity to analyse the victorious Spain team of 2024, who won all seven games on their way to the title despite a tough draw in both the group and the knockout stages.
You can also get stuck in to the electric performances of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal on the wings. Williams scored in the final against England, whilst Yamal backed up his hugely impressive breakout season with Barcelona by contributing four assists (more than any other player in the tournament) and one goal as a key part of Spain's attacking play.
Of course, there's plenty of analysing to be done on England's run to the Euro 2024 final as well.
Accessing the data
The easiest way to work with our data is in R or Python, for which we've released two packages to make working with our free datasets more manageable: Hudl StatsbombR and Hudl StatsbombPy.
To pull the data into your working environment, you'll need to use competition_id (55) and season_id (282).
If you intend to publish your work on social media – which we greatly encourage you to do if you want your skills to be noticed by professionals – then please remember to abide by our user agreement and credit StatsBomb as your data source when doing so.
- Our User Guide and Logos can be found in our media pack.
- Access the data through our GitHub.
- Access the R Guide 2.0
As always, we hope you enjoy working with the data.
Best of luck,
The Hudl Statsbomb Team
