Complex systems in football: How to apply complexity theory to the game
Soccer is an extremely popular sport around the world, with millions of people playing and watching it every day. However, football is a complex system where multiple factors interact to determine the outcome of the game. The behavior of the system is emergent and the outcome of the game is difficult to predict due to tactics, strategy, training, technology, psychology and other factors that influence the game.
