Abstract


The FIFA World Cup (FWC) is a football (soccer) tournament that happens every four years, gathering 31 national teams world-wide who have secured qualification and the host team. In order to gain more knowledge and information about football, it seemed necessary to analyze the periods of activity during the match. The analysis and characteristics of the effort during the match aims to enable fine modeling of activities in order to assess the specificity of playing positions, to adjust the content of training in order to improve the sports preparation of players and to guide and make tactical decisions. The aim of the research was to determine the differences in the morphological and fitness parameters of the finalists of the FWC 2018, as well as to obtain basic data on the character of the physical parameters of the two teams during the match, the final. Statistically significant differences were recorded in the variable distance traveled in ball possession (in poss) with statistical significance of p <.001, while in other variables no statistical significance was recorded. These results provide information to sports scientists on performance requirements in teams with different percentages of ball possession, which could be used to individualize dual training based on tactical strategy and visual-exploratory action of players during a football game.
