With the rise in competition and battle for the top spots in competitive sports such as football, more data is needed. However, with the current state of data there is limited upward movement. This has caused an increase in a need for geo spatial data, that can be concluded by GIS work.
Using tracking data and event data, maps are able to be constructed to represent this data form the game. By first mapping the field itself, you can use spatial elements such as the players, ball, and referees to get spatial data. This blog analyzes that while it is in the beginning phases, the door is open for GIS to model a game more concretely than current practices in the future. The lacking knowledge is how this data can be connected to represent the game as a whole instead of "snapshots" of individual portions.
