Program to find out the ELO of a football team based on every single international game played

Primary LanguagePython

International Football Elo

This is a program to find out the ELO of a football team based on every single international game played. Source of data is this Kaggle dataset by Mart Jürisoo.

Once that is downloaded, put the CSV files in internation-football-results/. You only need results.csv as penalty shootouts are not considered and are awarded as a draw to both teams.

Once downloaded, run make_table.py. (You should remove the 2nd line on the newly created elos.csv; this may or may not be fixed by me later.)

After that, run evaluate.py. The code takes a while to run but you should see the results in elos.csv after it is done.

Result based on results.csv on 16/07/2024
