Alphawin is a brand specialized and developing and creating algorithms
in sports, especially applied to football. In 2017, Alphawin released
its first algorithm, an algorithm aimed at identifying key
characteristics on penalty kicks and using that information to help
predict the final outcome of the penalty kick, in terms of side and
success. This algorithm was intended to work as a decision support
mechanism, to help players and managers increase their performance, in
one of the most stressful moments of a football game.
Since then, Alphawin has been recognized by its innovative approaches on algorithms and decision support systems.
Our international team of researchers is mainly characterized by their multidisciplinary facet, incorporating from researchers in mathematical modeling up to specialists in sports performance.

In 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, 2016 UEFA European Football in France
and 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia he was a guest commentator on TSF
Radio to analyze, in various interventions, the entire campaign and
performance of the Portuguese Football Team AA.
Since 2018 he is part of the coordination team of the project "Melhoria
de performance desportiva – penalties" with the under 18 squad, in
cooperation with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).
Pedro Zorro
Co-Founder & Tecnical Coordinator of the Alphawin project
Sports Professional, Degree in Sports Science (Major in Physical Education and Minor in Sports Training) at the Faculty of Human Motricity and developed an academic internship (2017/2018) at Sport Lisboa e Benfica, with the functions of assistant coach of the Infants echelon.
Since 2018 he is part of the coordination team of the project "Improvement of performance Penalties" in partnership with the Portuguese Football Federation, national team of Football Under 18.
Experience of several years in the area, namely in:
- Technical support (Head Coach) of children's football teams, initiates, youths, juniors and seniors (football 7 and football 11), in district clubs (Venda Do Pinheiro, Sport Clube de Frielas, Grupo Desportivo de Loures (Sporting school) ) and AMSAC (futsal, youth, junior and senior classes, in the 1st and 2nd divisions), as well as the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2013/2014);

Professor Doctor João Fialho
Co-Founder & Scientific Coordinator of the project Alphawin.
Is a PhD in Mathematics of University of Évora, Portugal. He is
currently a Senior Lecturer at the British University of Vietnam in
Hanoi, Vietnam. He has a vast experience both in private sector and in
academia, working in 4 different countries in Higher Education, Finance
and Actuarial Sciences and Pricing and Data analysis.
He is an active researcher in the field of Differential Equations and
Mathematical Modelling, with a vast research record that includes a vast
track of international publications, a book and several invited
presentations in international conferences.
Since 2012 he has been involved in several research and modeling projects in several different countries and areas, such as:
-Biomechanics - Mathematical modelling of the scoliotic human spine using traction devices
-Biology - Mathematical modelling of the mosquito population in the Caribbean
-Forecasting using time series, big data and machine learning
Since 2018 he is part of the coordination team of the project "Melhoria
de performance desportiva – penalties" with the under 18 squad, in
cooperation with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).
All the models developed are based on a wide range of methods such as
forecasting, time series, neuronal networks, genetic algorithms, game
theory, statistical modelling, differential equations amongst other
techniques in mathematical modelling such as Big Data and Machine
Learning.

Alphawin News.
These are some of the teams and soccer teams already analyzed by our algorithms! Clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona FC, Bayern Munique, Schalke 04, Bayern Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Wolfsburgo, Mainz, Manchester United, Flamengo, Fluminense, Borussia de Dortmund, Athletic Madrid, S L Benfica, FC Porto or Sporting CP. We also analyzed several national football teams like the German, Brasilian, Chilean, Mexican, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Croatian, English, Belgian, Moroccan and Iranian.
As a curiosity, Diego Alves, saved penalties from both Cristiano Ronaldo (2 penalties) and Lionel Messi. 
In case of Sergio Ramos, that factors that seem affect the most when it comes to choosing the side for the shot will be taken seem to be the shooting height and where he looks.
Alphwin's algorithm produces the decision tree with the probabilities of the penalty being taken to a given side, based on the key factors. In case of Sergio Ramos these are the predictions.
Did you know that according to Alphawin algorithm, up to his injury
during the 2017/2018 season, Danilo Pereira (FC Porto), was the most
efficient player in the Portuguese League, with 13% of his passes
creating finishing opportunities.
