Game theory is a mathematical science that studies strategic interaction models between rational agents and focuses on the study of decision-making problems by considering the costs or what is gained from making a decision. Thus, game theory plays a role in the study of logic, computers, economics, and others. The game of football is a type of strategy game in real time where there are two opposing teams, each consisting of eleven players on the field and three to twelve players on the bench who have their respective roles, namely goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, winger and The strikers then work together to beat the opposing team. To beat opponents, players are required to think about various strategic decisions that are superior to the opposing team or players in the current situation. The choice of decisions or strategies in a football game is based on many things that have been established by the game itself, some of the things that will be discussed in this final assignment are football formations, player abilities, and the strategies used. Choosing combinations of these three things can influence the game situation and is a common thing to consider in this game. In this final assignment, we will look for a way to define the operation of a football game system in general in game theory by utilizing decision-making process factors carried out by rational game players.
