When competing at the highest level of modern association football, the margins were incredibly tight, and it was increasingly important to be able to capitalize on any opportunity to create an advantage on the pitch. To that end, top-tier clubs employed diverse teams of coaches, analysts, and experts, tasked with studying and devising (counter-)tactics before each game. However, the analysis and execution of agreed-upon plans by players on the pitch was highly dynamic and imperfect, depending on numerous factors including player fitness and fatigue, variations in player movement and positioning, weather, the state of the pitch, and the reaction of the opposing team. In this talk, I described TacticAI, an AI football tactics assistant we developed and evaluated towards this end, in close collaboration with domain experts from Liverpool FC.

This speech by Petar Velickovic was held on November 22nd at the Data Science Conference Europe 2023 in Belgrade.
