Implementing project-based learning (PBL) in sports education has garnered interest as a novel approach to enhancing students' competencies and comprehension. This study examines the impact of project-based football instruction on the athletic abilities of physical education students. The study utilizes a quasi-experimental approach with 60 students allocated to an experimental group (PBL) and a control group (conventional learning). The evaluation emphasizes technical competencies (passing, dribbling, and shooting) and tactical comprehension, assessed via pre- and post-tests. The findings indicate that students in the experimental group exhibited a notable enhancement in technical skills (average increase of 28%, p < 0.05) and tactical comprehension (average increase of 32%, p < 0.05) relative to the control group. The findings demonstrate that project-based learning improves technical and tactical skills by involving students in collaborative, problem-solving tasks replicating real-game scenarios. In summary, project-based football teaching significantly enhances the athletic abilities of physical education pupils. The study advocates for incorporating Project-Based Learning (PBL) into football education curricula to enhance profound learning and skill development while encouraging creativity and collaboration.
