Abstract
Football performance is analysed by goals scored, shots, effective shots, and passes. Extant studies have examined the factors in terms of leagues and world cup, including passes, number of successful passes, shots and effective shots and so on. However, the factors that predict and directly affect winner or loser are diverse and lack consistency. This study thus investigated the factors affecting quarterfinal and semifinal in EURO 2024 and analysed them considering the efficiency of pass and shoot. The analysis confirmed that efficiency significantly affects winning and losing teams. Therefore, this efficiency could serve as a valuable reference for efficient management and strategic decision-making for football.
