It includes a competitions and seasons file, matches per competition and season, events and lineups per match, and StatsBomb 360 data for selected matches. Documentation on event types and the JSON format sits in a doc directory. Only certain leagues are included. Anyone publishing work based on the data is asked to credit StatsBomb as the source and use its logo.
