FIFA said in a statement: “When the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 started, all participating players received QR code that gives them access to the FIFA Player application, which is a dedicated analysis tool that improves players’ access to and utilization of match data.
More than 400 players have registered on this service, including Croatian star Luka Modric, who expressed his admiration for the application.
The statement added that FIFA's Football Technology and Innovation Department developed the FIFA Player application based on input from professional players and in cooperation with FIFA Pro, the International Association of Professional Football Players, and it was used for the first time in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Croatian star Luka Modric said in a statement to FIFA: "The application helps you identify the mistakes you made during the match. Sometimes you get repeated things or scenarios on the field in two different matches, and with this app, I can see what I did wrong at that moment and try to correct it in the next match, since the beginning of my career I always like to review the highlights of the match and see what I could have done better".
In turn, the Swiss star, Xherdan Shaqiri, said in a similar statement: “You can know how your performance was on the field, and there are videos from the match as well, and therefore I see that it is a very good idea from FIFA, and I love the application very much and it is great service that did not exist before.”
The output of the /FIFA Player/ application is based on the FIFA Football Language /, which was developed under the supervision of Arsene Wenger, Head of Global Football Development at the International Federation of the Game, to represent a blueprint for future football analysis.
Wenger said: "The players get an analysis of their performance through the language of football that we have developed, and the players will get used to the way we analyze the match, and accordingly, there will be a common language."
He added, "The players are very smart and usually adapt quickly, and we will improve the quality of their performance, and this is the goal of the language of football."
FIFA will use the FIFA Player app again in the 2023 Women's World Cup, which will be held next year in Australia and New Zealand.
