AB Football is a dynamic sport that requires both physical and technical skill because it is played within a speci c timeframe and in a large space; physical ability is inseparable from technical pro ciency among a match. This research aims to analyze the relationship between the timing of foot pressure, force generated at take-off, and heading accuracy in youth football players. A descriptive correlational approach was used on a sample of (8) players. Data were collected using a Foot Scan platform andvideo analysis. The results it was signi cant correlations between biomechanical variables and heading accuracy. The highest recorded correlation reached (R D 0.845) between instantaneous propulsive force and heading accuracy, indicating the critical role of rapid force production. Additionally, the elevation of the center of mass during take-off showed a strong correlation (R D 0.826), highlighting the importance of vertical force application. The  ndings con rm that optimal heading performance depends on the integration of explosive power, precise timing, and balanced plantar pressure distribution. The research concluded that improving heading accuracy requires generating high force in a short time while maintaining dynamic balance during take-off.
