Objectives. The study aimed to determine the structure and integral assessment of technical and tactical activity in highly qualified football players across different playing positions based on a systematic approach. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted during the UEFA European Football Championships in 2021 and 2024. The competitive activity of football players representing the national teams of England, Spain, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Romania, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine was analyzed. The following research methods were applied: theoretical analysis of scientific sources and literature, pedagogical observation, video analysis of competitive activity, and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The technical and tactical activity structure in highly qualified football players across different playing positions — full-backs, central defenders, defensive midfielders, central midfielders (inside midfielders), wide midfielders (wingers), and forwards —was determined. It was established that the performance of ball control actions, passes, dribbling, feints, tackles, interceptions, and shots on goal differs significantly across playing positions, which reflects the specific characteristics of their competitive activity. Conclusions. The findings suggest that the identified structural indicators and integral assessment of technical and tactical activity inhighly qualified football players across various playing positions allow for more effective managerial decision-making in both training and competitive processes of football teams.
