The study aims at modeling soccer matches with recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). Positional data of 12 soccer matches from German Bundesliga out of the season 2009/2010 are used to produce global and local recurrence plots (RP) and perform the RQA. It is shown that RPs are representations of the soccer matches and the RQA parameters deliver descriptions of the matches.
