This paper presents a synthetic dataset of labeled game situations in recordings of federated handball and basketball matches played in Galicia, Spain. The dataset consists of synthetic data generated from real video frames, including 308,805 labeled handball frames and 56,578 labeled basketball frames extracted from 2105 handball and 383 basketball 5-s video clips. Experts manually labeled the video clips based on the respective sports, while the individual frames were automatically labeled using computer vision and machine learning techniques. The dataset encompasses seven classes of game situations: left attack, left counterattack, left penalty, right attack, right counterattack, right penalty, and timeout. In basketball, the penalty class refers to the free throws attempted by players after they have been fouled by an opposing player.
