In this paper, improved information entropy model and SOM neural networks are proposed for evaluating technical and tactical abilities of football teams in Euro 2012.Information entropy model is an effective performance evaluation tool.As a fine clustering tool, SOM has been used widely.The approach make input space cluster automatically and the learning process of clustering doesn't need supervision.At the same time, eleven indicators that reflect technical and tactical ability of football teams are selected.Then, by means of entropy method and clustering analysis with statistic data of Euro 2012, characteristic and law is discovered between competition results and technical and tactical abilities, and a method for comprehensive assessment of technical and tactical abilities of football teams was proposed.
