Pin-pointing excellence.
Sofascore Rating
Sofascore created the staple in quantifying player performance.
Standout moments of the football matches live long in your memory, while others slip under the radar.
For 90 minutes (or more), up to 22 players are active on the pitch, and they generate data with their every move.
Sofascore ensures no touch of the ball goes unnoticed.
We created a way to translate that complex data into a single number.

During each football match the data is calculated as a player's statistical rating in real-time and after the game has ended, ensuring 100% accuracy.
We analysed countless past football matches and tweaked the formula — resulting in our highly sophisticated algorithm.
10 minutes of play is needed to generate the first ratings.
For each player, it's updated 60 times during the match and a few more times after the final whistle.
During each match, it counts almost 2000 iterations for all players combined.
