This repository contains the Wyscout data described in the 'A public data set of spatio-temporal match events in soccer competitions' paper, but processed to the regular Wyscout form. In this form it can be loaded by libraries like kloppy.

The dataset contains the following competitions:

Andrew Rowlinson (2020): FOOTBALL SHOT QUALITY

The original files are processed to the regular JSON form. This makes it possible to load the data using kloppy. Since kloppy >=1.5.2 it's possible to access this dataset directly using the kloppy datasets api.

You can find all available matches in the index in the repository.

Note: make sure you have version >=1.5.2 of kloppy.

You can load the default match (2499841 - Huddersfield Town - Manchester City) using the dataset api:

from kloppy import datasets
dataset = datasets.load("wyscout")

If you want to use any other match you have to specify the match_id:

from kloppy import datasets
dataset = datasets.load("wyscout", match_id=2499843)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koenvo/wyscout-soccer-match-event-dataset/main/processed/1694390.json

from kloppy import load_wyscout_event_data
dataset = load_wyscout_event_data("1694390.json")
