Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, primarily known for its use of a spherical ball. The objective of the game is to score goals by getting the ball into the opposing team’s net, which is typically positioned at either end of a rectangular field known as a pitch. The game is played predominantly with the feet, though players can use any part of their bodies except their arms and hands, with the exception of goalkeepers who can use their hands within the penalty area.
Football is governed by a standardized set of rules called the Laws of the Game, maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) and overseen globally by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). The sport is popular worldwide and is considered the most played sport, prompting major international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship, and others.
Football has various forms, including association football (soccer), American football, Canadian football, rugby football, and Australian rules football, each with its own set of rules and style of play. However, in most countries, when people refer to “football,” they are typically talking about association football, or soccer, as it is known in some regions.
