Abstract

Using the nonparametric variable output-oriented DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model, this paper analyses technical efficiency of the observed national football team in the qualifications for 2010 FIFA World Cup. If DEA model has a two stage structure, the first stage uses inputs to generate outputs that then became the inputs to the second stage. The indexes of efficiency, previously generated for attack and defence, will be implemented as parameters in the second-stage DEA analysis in accordance with the initial aim of this paper, to present new results as the outcome of the comprehensive approach to both inseparable aspects of the football. This theoretical approach is structured as follows: the football teams are defined as DMU (Decision-Making Units), then, the methodology is established, specifically, the stages of range and objectives, analysis of procedure and variables, and the description of the theoretical analysis used.
