Women’s international football is growing in terms of popularity, but to date there is limited published research in women’s football and even less that describes effective attacking strategies and the creation of goal scoring opportunities (GSO). The purpose of this research was to investigate and assess the factors related to the creation of GSO that led to a Top 4 position Canada Women’s World Cup 2015. Video footage of each match (n = 52) from the Women’s World Cup (Canada 2015) was analysed using SportsCode Software. The results revealed that the middle third of the pitch was the most effective area for gaining possession and creating GSO. The average time taken to create a GSO was under twelve seconds. The findings of the study can be used by coaches to design training sessions and interventions to successfully create GSO in women’s football. The data from the research may influence the tactical set up of women’s international football teams and help to evolve the game in the same way that research into the men’s game has.

2015年女足世界杯进球机会的创造

国际女子足球越来越受欢迎，但迄今为止，关于女子足球的已发表研究非常有限，甚至更少描述有效的进攻策略和创造进球机会 (GSO)。本研究的目的是调查和评估与创建 GSO 相关的因素，这些因素导致 2015 年加拿大女足世界杯前 4 名。 女足世界杯（2015 年加拿大）每场比赛的视频片段（n = 52）使用 SportsCode 软件进行分析。结果显示，球场的中三分之一是获得控球权和创造 GSO 的最有效区域。创建 GSO 所需的平均时间不到 12 秒。教练可以使用研究结果来设计训练课程和干预措施，以成功地在女子足球中创造 GSO。
