Sample Solution:
SQL Code:
SELECT venue_name
FROM soccer_venue
WHERE venue_id IN
(SELECT venue_id
FROM match_mast
WHERE match_no IN
(SELECT DISTINCT match_no
FROM penalty_shootout));
Sample Output:
venue_name
-------------------------
Stade VElodrome
Stade de Bordeaux
Stade Geoffroy Guichard
(3 rows)
Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL that retrieves the names of all venues that have hosted matches in which penalty shootouts occurred.
The condition filters the rows in the soccer_venue table to only include those where the venue ID matches a value returned by a subquery. The subquery selects the venue IDs from the match_mast table where the match number is in a subquery that selects distinct match numbers from the penalty_shootout table.
Alternative Solution:
JOIN with Subquery:
SELECT v.venue_name
FROM soccer_venue v
JOIN match_mast m ON v.venue_id = m.venue_id
WHERE m.match_no IN (
SELECT DISTINCT match_no
FROM penalty_shootout
);
Explanation:
This query uses a JOIN operation between soccer_venue and match_mast based on the venue_id. Then, it filters the results based on the condition that match_no should be in the list of distinct match_no values obtained from the subquery.
Using EXISTS:
SELECT venue_name
FROM soccer_venue v
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM match_mast m
WHERE v.venue_id = m.venue_id
AND m.match_no IN (
SELECT DISTINCT match_no
FROM penalty_shootout
)
);
Explanation:
This query uses the EXISTS keyword. It checks if there exists at least one row in the match_mast table where the venue_id matches and the match_no is in the list of distinct match_no values obtained from the subquery.
Using INNER JOIN:
SELECT v.venue_name
FROM soccer_venue v
INNER JOIN match_mast m ON v.venue_id = m.venue_id
WHERE m.match_no IN (
SELECT DISTINCT match_no
FROM penalty_shootout
);
Explanation:
This query uses an inner join between soccer_venue and match_mast. It then applies a filter to include only rows where match_no is in the list of distinct match_no values obtained from the subquery.

PREV : Find where the penalty kick number 23 had been taken.
NEXT : Find the date when penalty shootout matches played.
