Selection for Professional Clubs and National Teams Based on Performance Outcomes in Official FIFA and UEFA Competitions (2020/2021–2024/2025)

The article presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of competitive performance indicators for the UEFA Top‐30 clubs and FIFA Top‐30 national teams over the 2020/2021 - 2024/2025 seasons. The study covers technical‐tactical, performance, and physical metrics (xG, PPDA, Sprints/match, Distance/match) and their correlation with final results. Special attention is given to the Ukrainian national team and leading Ukrainian clubs (Dynamo Kyiv, Shakhtar Donetsk) in the context of their performances in European competitions. Interactive Power BI visualizations, including the "Top‐30 vs Others" and "Sprints vs xG" pages, were developed to assess the effectiveness of playing models and game intensity at different tournament stages. The performances of the Ukrainian national team in the FIFA and UEFA qualifying and final tournaments, as well as the results of leading Ukrainian clubs in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, demonstrate both strengths (defensive organization, individual skills of certain players) and areas for improvement (efficiency in converting chances, intensity of pressing). Analysis of these aspects in comparison with the world's leading teams allows us to identify the specifics of Ukrainian football development and formulate recommendations for selection work. The aim of the work is to identify key indicators that influence the performance of professional club and national teams in FIFA and UEFA competitions, with a particular focus on analysing the performance of the Ukrainian national team and leading Ukrainian clubs in international tournaments, as well as to propose updated interactive tools for analysing the competitive activities of club and national teams.
