Developing an Integrated Platform to Track Real Time Football Statistics for Somali Football Federation (SFF)

The integration of technology in sports has revolutionized how stakeholders interact with and perceive the game. This thesis presents the development of an integrated platform aimed at tracking real-time football statistics for the Somali Football Federation (SFF). Football, being one of the most popular sports globally, relies heavily on accurate and up-to-date statistical data for player performance analysis, team strategies, and fan engagement. The SFF, like many other federations, faces challenges in collecting, managing, and utilizing football statistics effectively. The advent of digital technologies and the internet has revolutionized data collection and dissemination methods across various fields, including sports. Traditional methods of data collection and analysis, which are often manual and time-consuming, can no longer meet the demands of modern football analytics. The platform encompasses a mobile application for fans, an admin panel for administrators, and a backend system for data management. Leveraging modern technologies such as Flutter for mobile development, Node.js and MySQL for backend services, and React for the admin interface, the system ensures comprehensive coverage of match events, player statistics, and tournament standings. Real-time updates facilitated by Socket.IO enhance user engagement and decision-making capabilities for coaches and administrators.
