  With the increasingly detailed investigation of game play and tactics in
invasive team sports such as soccer, it becomes ever more important to present
causes, actions and findings in a meaningful manner. Visualizations, especially
when augmenting relevant information directly inside a video recording of a
match, can significantly improve and simplify soccer match preparation and
tactic planning. However, while many visualization techniques for soccer have
been developed in recent years, few have been directly applied to the
video-based analysis of soccer matches. This paper provides a comprehensive
overview and categorization of the methods developed for the video-based visual
analysis of soccer matches. While identifying the advantages and disadvantages
of the individual approaches, we identify and discuss open research questions,
soon enabling analysts to develop winning strategies more efficiently, do rapid
failure analysis or identify weaknesses in opposing teams.
