Python on the Pitch: How Germany will win World Cup 2026

We will dive into the fascinating world of football analytics, showcasing how to collect and process match data (e.g., Hudl Statsbomb, Sportmonks, and Understat), including player tracking, event logs, and tactical formations. Attendees will walk away with practical knowledge and Jupyter Notebooks, demonstrating Python's power in decoding modern football strategies.

Everyone is welcome regardless of prior knowledge. Real lovers of football are especially encouraged to join, and for fans of the Germany national football team, participation is practically obligatory!

In this talk, we will explore how Python can be leveraged to analyze and visualize football data for the Germany national football team, managed by Julian Nagelsmann, on their journey to winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup. We will dive into the fascinating world of football analytics, showcasing how to collect and process match data (e.g., Hudl Statsbomb, Sportmonks, and Understat), including player tracking, event logs, and tactical formations. We'll discover match data to demonstrate how the team's performance reflects Nagelsmann's tactical principles, such as gegenpressing, offensive play, and compactness.
