    This study examines the relationship between facial width-to-height ratio and aggression in soccer players, as measured by yellow and red cards received. It hypothesizes that players with a higher facial width-to-height ratio will receive more cards. The researchers collected data on disciplinary records and facial measurements of players on Morocco's World Cup team. Preliminary results found higher disciplinary scores correlated with higher facial ratios, supporting the hypothesis. However, the study notes limitations like small sample size and need for more metrics of aggression.

    Facial Width-to-Height Ratio’s

    Correlation to Aggression in Soccer


    Players
    Wien, Sam, Adora, Taylor
    Background

    ● Evolving facial features ● Related to a previous study


    ● Relation to aggression conducted comparing varsity
    hockey players penalty box time
    with facial width-to-height ratio
    In the context of professional soccer:

    QUESTION: Does the facial width-height ratio of a professional soccer


    player predict their frequency of receiving yellow and red cards?

    HYPOTHESIS: Yes. Higher ratio -> more aggressive behavior on the field.
    Ex: Morocco World Cup Team

    Selected Players: Zakaria Aboukhlal, Sofiane Boufal, Abdelhamid Sabiri, Romain Saiss
    Zakaria Aboukhlal

    Stats

    Hypothesized Results
    Actual Results
    Actual vs. Predicted
    Strengths of Our Study

    - Greater diversity of race and ethnicity


    - Minimized bias (Games are regulated by the same institutional body - FIFA)
    Reasons To Be Cautious
    - Our small sample size
    - Reasons for getting yellow and red cards
    - Observational study
    Further Studies
    - Collecting data from players in a specific league (as opposed to World Cup)
    - Different metrics of aggression
