The position you choose is very important when taking great sports photos. You don't want to end up seeing only the backs of people, after all. Every sport requires a different position, and how much freedom you have to choose depends on the sport.
It is therefore a good idea to check in advance where you can get the best position and whether you are allowed to sit there. This prevents unexpected situations and could stop you from missing the moment.
At football matches, the best position is behind the goal line, close to the corner flag. This gives you the most coverage of the attacking team.
You also have the best chance of getting a celebration photo of a player running towards the corner. You can never control this, but you can choose the position where the chances are greatest.
Suppose the attacking team has a player like Arjen Robben. You can keep taking photos because he is always making runs and creating chances with great moves. During the warm-up, you can see which players are interesting to photograph and choose your position accordingly.
