Employing Educational Technology Enhanced by Artificial Intelligence in Analyzing the Performance of Talented Football Players and Developing Their Training Strategies in Sudan: A Developmental Study from the Perspective of Specialists

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the extent of using educational technology enhanced by artificial intelligence in analyzing the performance of talented football players and developing their training strategies in Sudan. The researchers employed a descriptive-analytical approach, and the research tool was an electronic questionnaire directed at a purposive sample of (120) specialists in the fields of educational technology, sports training, artificial intelligence, and performance analysis, representing (20.83%) of the total population. The results indicated that the level of use was moderately high, while the effectiveness was very high. Intelligent tools contributed to improving the accuracy of performance analysis and providing realistic data that supports informed training decisions. The findings also revealed key obstacles, most notably the weakness of infrastructure, the shortage of qualified personnel, and the lack of institutional support. The study concluded with several recommendations, most importantly: the need to integrate artificial intelligence into training curricula, provide training for coaches, and ensure institutional and technical support in line with global developments. These results contribute to shaping future visions for developing training programs for talented athletes in Sudan based on artificial intelligence technologies.
