The FCF - Federación Colombiana de Fútbol participated in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Here are some key metrics that were analyzed:

1. Passing Network: This metric shows where the team makes the most passes, the players involved in those passes, and whom they passed the most.

2. Passing Zone Distribution: This metric shows the tendency of where players make and receive more passes on the field.

3. Pressure Zone: This metric shows the zone in the field where the team tends to make pressure to recover the ball.

4. Shooting Zone: This metric is represented by a scatterplot chart that shows where shots were taken, and the outcome is differentiated by color.

5. Passes into the Final Third Heatmap: This metric represents the zones where passes into the final third are made to create chances to score. In this case, the tendency is to attack on the sides.

6. Scatterplot Chart by the 8 Teams Qualified to the Quarterfinals: This metric shows Colombia as the team with the least goals per 90 minutes played.
