Are there any good soccer data collections (free / reasonably priced) for an individual programmer to build something like this?

- hubridnoxx 7y agoIf I recall correctly, Opta is one (https://www.optasports.com/ https://www.optasports.com/), but I'm not sure if it reasonably priced.

- gricardo99 7y agoDetailed per play/player stats involve quite a bit of effort to collect, and thus are not typically free. Sports stats in general is a fairly closely guarded and proprietary area. Here an interesting article about it from 2014: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-people-tracking-every-touch-pass-and-tackle-in-the-world-cup/ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-people-tracking-eve... I have to assume computer vision will largely automate the process of collecting sports stats, even in real-time, if that hasn't already happened. For that I think you would need access (and licensing rights) to a quality video feed of the matches, different than what is broadcast for human consumption (i.e. shows the entire field of play the whole time).
- lovemenot 7y agoWhy not aggregate the uploaded videos from hundreds of fans? Sure it would very noisy, but synchronised feeds from many angles seems valuable.
