A Python library of scrapers that collect soccer data from popular websites like FBref, ESPN, WhoScored, Sofascore, SoFIFA, Understat, Club Elo, and Football-Data.co.uk. It returns data as Pandas DataFrames with consistent column names and identifiers across sources, with local caching of downloaded data.

Use cases

  • scrape soccer match and player stats from fbref
  • get football data into pandas dataframes
  • collect soccer analytics data from whoscored or sofascore
  • download historical soccer results and schedules
  • analyze premier league player season statistics
  • fetch elo ratings for football clubs
  • build a soccer prediction model with scraped data

When to choose

  • you need structured soccer data from multiple websites in a unified pandas format
  • you want a maintained Python library instead of writing your own scrapers
  • you're doing soccer analytics or modeling research in Python

When to avoid

  • you need real-time live match feeds or official licensed data
  • you work outside Python or don't use pandas
  • your target website isn't among the supported sources
  • scraping is disallowed by a site's terms of service for your use case
