- events.
Quick Start
To create a pipeline, open the Collect module, go to "Pipelines", and click "New Pipeline".
Choose the Data Source
Use an existing source or register a new one

Pipeline Information
Define a name and a brief description for your pipeline so its purpose and the scope of the data collection and analysis process are easy to identify.
Select Competitions
When collecting StatsBomb data, working with a subset of competitions has many advantages. StatsBomb contains a large volume of data, with an extremely high number of events across many competitions. This volume can make collection and analysis challenging and time-consuming.
Focusing on a specific subset makes this process simpler and more manageable. Rather than handling events from every competition, you can filter for data most relevant to your needs. This can improve efficiency, reduce processing time, and make analysis easier.
It also provides a clearer focus on specific competitions, allowing deeper, more detailed analysis. Working with a subset of competitions can therefore be an effective and efficient approach to StatsBomb data collection.
Note: competition names must be entered exactly as registered in the official StatsBomb documentation. Incorrect names may prevent the pipeline from running correctly.
Specify Objects
After entering the credentials, you can select which tables from the connected source to import during data collection.
📘
When selecting more than one entity, a separate dataset is created in the catalog for each imported table or view.
Frequency
- Finally, configure how often your pipeline should run. Choose one of the available options or enter a custom frequency using a cron expression. For more information, see the guide.
📘
The default time zone for scheduling is UTC.
All frequency methods define when extractions begin. They do not control how long replication runs or when the data actually reaches its destination.
Done! Wait for collection to run on the scheduled day and time.
To run the pipeline immediately, you can start it manually within 30 seconds after creating it. Go to "Pipelines", "List", and "Synchronize Pipeline".
After a few minutes, your pipeline will be cataloged as a Data Asset in the Explore tab.
You can also open "View pipeline" in the pipeline list to review the summary, collected entities and columns, execution history, and micro-transformation history.
Adding New Competitions to the Connector
To add new competitions to the connector, follow these steps:
- Check whether data for the new competitions is available in the API.
- Competition access: confirm that you have access to the desired competitions through the StatsBomb console/admin area, StatsBomb Data.
- Contact Dadosfera Customer Support to add new competitions or ask questions about connector updates.
This ensures that new competitions are integrated correctly and questions are promptly addressed.
