Hi everyone.

I’m currently working on my Master’s dissertation and need access to football event data. I’ve been using the open StatsBomb data via statsbombpy, but it’s limited to a small selection of competitions and teams, and much of it is several years old.

I tried contacting StatsBomb’s sales team by email to ask about academic access, but I haven’t received a response.

Does anyone know if there’s a way for students or researchers to access more recent and comprehensive event data, either for free or at an academic discount? Alternatively, are there any other reliable sources of event data that you would recommend for research?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
