Data source
This actor uses FIFA's official api.fifa.com/api/v3 endpoints:
/calendar/matchesβ fixture discovery (competition 17, season 285023)/live/football/17/285023/{idStage}/{idMatch}β per-match lineups and events
No authentication required. The same API powers the official fifa.com website.
Use cases
- Tactical analysis: LineupX/Y coordinates and formation strings for positional analysis
- Sports media: Per-match lineup and goal data for automated match reports
- AI content generation: Structured "who scored what" data for WC 2026 summaries
- Betting models: Real lineup context (who started, who scored, formations) for each match
- Data journalism: Full tournament-level dataset linking players, goals, and match outcomes
Notes
- The actor fetches from played matches by default (
matchStatus: played). As the tournament progresses, more matches become available. lineup_x/lineup_ytactical coordinates may be null β FIFA populates them for selected matches only.- Goal records capture only the first goal per player per match. Players with multiple goals will have only the first goal annotated.
- The dataset covers the full 26-player squad per team (11 starters + 15 substitutes), not just starters.
