TacticAI

Powered by IBM Granite

Pro-level tactical analysis, for every coach.

Pro clubs spend millions decoding matches. TacticAI turns the same free World Cup data into plain-language insight any grassroots coach can act on — and shows the exact minute a team's press faded.

Coaching takeaway

Their press collapsed after the 60th minute — the gap that decided the half. Hold a higher line in the final third to keep the squeeze on.

Illustrative preview — sample figures, not live match data.

The problem

The data is free. The insight isn't.

Every pass, shot and pressure from World Cup matches is public. But turning thousands of raw events into something a coach can use takes analysts, tools and time — so pro clubs get the edge, and everyone else gets a clipboard.

Pro clubs

Million-dollar analytics departments translating event data into match-winning tactical plans.

Grassroots coaches

The same public data, locked behind complexity — and a clipboard to make sense of it all.

How it works

From raw events to a coaching plan

  1. Pick a match

    Choose any fixture from StatsBomb's open data — World Cup matches up to 2022 included.

  2. Read the real events

    TacticAI pulls every pass, shot and pressure, then compresses thousands of events into a structured, minute-by-minute summary.

  3. Granite writes the analysis

    IBM Granite turns that summary into a four-part read: possession, pressing, attacking threat and a coaching takeaway.

  4. Get a plain-language plan

    No jargon, no spreadsheets — just clear, specific guidance a coach can take straight to the training ground.
