SoccerNet-FoulRet: Retrieving Semantically Similar Soccer Foul Videos

We cast this as a retrieval problem and introduce SoccerNet-FoulRet, the first benchmark for semantic foul retrieval.

Key points

  • Refereeing decisions in professional soccer remain inconsistent because referees cannot easily compare a contentious foul against similar past cases.
  • Given a query foul, the task is to retrieve past fouls judged to be relevant precedents, regardless of camera angle, teams, or appearance.
  • This differs from prior video-to-video retrieval, which matches clips by visual similarity or a shared event.
  • We build the benchmark from the SoccerNet-MVFoul dataset and evaluate retrieval ability of zero-shot video and vision-language embedders together with a task-specific fine-tuned baseline on 693 human-verified queries and category-relevance labels.
