# Nested includes
The nested include allows you to further enrich your data by requesting more information from a standard include. Might sound difficult, but we assure you, it’s anything but hard. This is how we use nested includes.
### Create your request
For example, in our [includes tutorial ](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/tutorials-and-guides/tutorials/includes)you’ve enriched your [GET Fixture by Date](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/endpoints-and-entities/endpoints/fixtures/get-fixtures-by-date) request with the `participant`, and `events` includes:
```javascript
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures/date/2022-09-03?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&include=participants;events
```
The include event shows you the data about players who received a card, scored a goal, or were substituted. A snippet of the response:

But what if we want to know more about the players, who scored a goal, like their country of origin, height, weight, age, image, etc? This is where the nested include comes into play!
### Using nested includes
The nested includes are represented in the form of dots (.), which are then linked to a standard include. This shows their relationship.
{% hint style="info" %}
Check our [syntax section](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/api/syntax) for a complete syntax overview.
{% endhint %}
Because the include event is related to a player. You can add `.player` to the include, which will result in the nested include: `events.player`
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```javascript
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures/date/2022-09-03?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&include=participants;events.player
```
{% endcode %}
