Randomized trial evaluates tactical skill differences in players based on age, training, and position, indicating varied skill levels.

This study aimed to develop and validate the Football Tactical Skills Scale (FTSS) to assess player tactical skills.
Cross-sectional survey design with a sample of 700 football players aged 14 years and older.
Scale development involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with 50 and 320 participants respectively.
Comparative analyses utilized one-way ANOVA and t-tests to examine differences in scores across groups.
The FTSS consisted of 17 items across four dimensions, showing satisfactory reliability and validity.
Older players and those in higher leagues reported higher FTSS scores (p < 0.001).
Midfielders had the highest total scores, while wingers excelled in strategic thinking and risk management.
