Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the goals scored in the 2022 amputee football World Cup to gain a better understanding of performance of amputee football players. A total of 294 goals in 80 matches of the 2022 amputee football World Cup were analysed through video footage and match reports. The results revealed 3.67 goals per match. The scored goals were not biased by the halves (p=.56). Significant differences were observed in scored goals according to time periods revealing the second 13-25’ (30.27%) and the fourth period 39-50’ (30.61%) as being highest goal-scoring periods. The effect of the first goal on percentages of wins was statistically significant (p=.00). The highest percentage of scored goals emerged from instep kick (63.38%). Most of the goals were scored in 5 s or less (48.64 %), emerged from free kicks (44.57%) and from the organized attacks (50.34%).
