<aside> 📃 We (BEPRO) are restructuring our event data definitions to enhance data credibility by following FIFA’s official football language, as of March 2022. You can find out what has changed in detail below. Examples can be found when clicking the arrows(➤).

1. Cross

As-is

Cross always goes together with a pass, which means it is included in the number of passes.

To-be

Cross is no longer a subset of a pass, which means it will be excluded from the number of passes.

2. Goalkeeper
