摘要

The author carried out a quantitative research on the competitiveness of 16 football teams participated in 2011-2012 European Cup, by using a comprehensive evaluation model of TOPSIS model and grey relational analysis. Research shows that, this model can intuitively and clearly demonstrate each football teams' competitiveness in terms of offense and defense, passing and team coordination, and the ranking of overall competitiveness.
