An update with data on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be available soon. The database includes 27 datasets (approximately 1.1 million data points) that cover all aspects of the World Cup.
This package is designed to allow users to extract various world football results and player statistics from the following popular football (soccer) data sites:
- FBref
- Transfermarkt
- Understat

Since the release of v0.5.3, the library now supports very rapid
loading of pre-collected data through the use of load_ functions.
The data available for loading is stored in the worldfootballR_data
repository. The repo can be found
