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

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.
