ABSTRACT
One of the main problems in soccer is to coordinate in real time the collective behaviour of team members, who solve a common task by solving individual tasks. The specificity of the problem lies in the fact that soccer players with their collective and individual skills, individual behaviour, incomplete knowledge of the environment and limited resources should succeed in reaching the common goal in a dynamically changing game. Soccer players act in time and space inside an unpredictable environment that often complicates team work. When organizing a team’s play, the main task is to coordinate the actions of players, all trying to realize their individual actions. Thus, the behaviour of soccer players as a team is a more complex phenomenon than coordinated individual actions of separate athletes.
