Are there any public data sets for the World Cup in Russia 2018?
Didn't find anything for download on the official FIFA site (besides a single-page PDF booklet for the match schedule).
Ideally the data set includes groups, teams, players, squads, matches, stadiums and so on and is in an open plain text format such as CSV (comma-separated values), JSON (javascript objects), SQL (structured query language), etc.
Any insight appreciated.
Disclosure: I'm the project lead of the football.db project collecting open public domain football data e.g.
- openfootball/world-cup - World Cup Datasets (1930-2022)
so no need to highlight this little humble dataset about Russia 2018 ;-) (that incl. the teams, groups and match schedule) but is missing a lot (e.g. players, trainers, stadiums, etc. and once the events starts it's missing goal getters, goals, penalties, yellow cards, red cards, and on and on).
Again it's the world's biggest (sport) event - 1 000 000 000+ people watching live and there must be some more open data out there in this world. Help us find some datasets. Any insight appreciated.
Kickoff! Matchday 7! Any updates? Any open datasets?
