  • Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the UEFA EURO 2020 Arxiv
    Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the UEFA EURO 2020 A. Groll * L. M. Hvattum † C. Ley ‡ F. Popp § G. Schauberger ¶ H. Van Eetvelde || A. Zeileis ** June 11, 2021 Abstract Three state-of-the-art statistical ranking methods for forecasting football matches are combined with several other predictors in a hybrid machine learning model. Namely an ability estimate for every team based on historic matches; an ability estimate for every team based on bookmaker consensus; average plus-minus player ratings based on their individual performances in their home clubs and national teams; and further team covariates (e.g., mar- ket value, team structure) and country-specific socio-economic factors (population, GDP). The proposed combined approach is used for learning the number of goals scored in the matches from the four previous UEFA EUROs 2004-2016 and then applied to current infor- mation to forecast the upcoming UEFA EURO 2020. Based on the resulting estimates, the tournament is simulated repeatedly and winning probabilities are obtained for all teams. A random forest model favors the current World Champion France with a winning probability of 14.8% before England (13.5%) and Spain (12.3%). Additionally, we provide survival probabilities for all teams and at all tournament stages. Keywords: UEFA EURO 2020, Football, Machine Learning, Team abilities, Sports tourna- ments. 1 Introduction The use of statistical and machine learning models to predict the outcome of international football tournaments, such as European championships (EUROs) or FIFA World Cups, has become pretty popular in recent years. One model class that is frequently used is the class arXiv:2106.05799v1 [cs.LG] 7 Jun 2021 of Poisson regression models.

  • UEFA EURO 2012 Social Responsibility Report
    UEFAUEFA EUROEURO 2012 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION A major tournament such as UEFA EURO 2012 touches on many economic, social and environmental aspects which are related to sustainability. Many of them, such as transport, procurement, workforce training, volunteerism, cus- tomer satisfaction, customer privacy, health and safety, and doping, are part of the core business of the organisation of the tournament. In 2008, UEFA cooperated with the governments of Switzerland and Austria in their efforts to prepare a social re- sponsibility report on UEFA EURO 2008. The report was inspired by the guidelines issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI; www.globalreporting.org) – the leading global network for sustainability reporting. Since then, UEFA has supported efforts to develop a specific sector supplement for event organisers (EOSS) and participated in the advisory board. This social responsibility report is an important step, demonstrating UEFA’s clear commitment to football’s social responsibility. The report covers all aspects that were relevant to the tournament and under UEFA’s control or influence. It is a credit to those involved in UEFA EURO 2012 that social aspects of sustainability were improved on relative to UEFA EURO 2008, given the challenging political, economic and social circumstances. 3 INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION / ORGANISATIONORGANISATION OFOF UEFAUEFA EUROEURO 2012 / THETHE STAGESTAGE / THETHE TOURNAMENTTOURNAMENT / BEHINDBEHIND THETHE SCENESSCENES / ORGANISATION OF UEFA EURO 2012 Within UEFA, the operations division (UEFA Events SA) had ownership of UEFA EURO 2012 and was responsible for the organisation of the event.
