The Fifa 23 database was obtained from Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/cashncarry/fifa-23-complete-player-dataset) and since the files contained some names with special characters, they were cleaned using Pandas and saved as new files which were then used for analysis using Pandas, Numpy and Matplotlib. The report was created on Jupyter Notebook due to its visualization capabilities and some key findings are shown below:
