Integral assessment of the football teams tactics at the 2025 FIFA club world cup

Background and Purpose The modern development of football requires the development and implementation of effective methods of controlling the competitive activity of both individual players and football teams. One of such methods is an integrated assessment of the tactics of a football team. The purpose of the research is to determine the indicators of the integrated assessment of the tactics of the leading football teams at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup based on a systematic approach. Materials and methods The study was conducted during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The competitive activity of the four leading football teams Chelsea (England), PSG (France), Real Madrid (Spain), Flumenense (Brazil) in the semi-final and final matches of this tournament was analysed. The research was carried out on the basis of the following methods: theoretical analysis of literary sources; pedagogical observation; analysis of video materials of competitive activity; methods of mathematical activity. Results The indicators of the integral assessment of game tactics (IATG) of the leading football teams at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have been determined. The structure of the IATG consists of 10 specific coefficients, on the basis of which the competitive activity of football teams in the phases of ball recovery and ball possession was characterised. The average value of IATG in the semifinal and final matches was 5.52±0.384 points. The highest value of IATG was registered in the Chelsea team (5.9 points), which won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. A significant correlation was observed between variables associated with individual players' tactical coefficients at the p<0.05 and p<0.01 significance levels. Conclusions The integral assessment of the tactics of the football team's game allows to purposefully exercise managerial control in the process of competitive activity, taking into account the main tactical components of the game in the phases of recovery and possession of the ball.
