Football refers to a team sport played between two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each, where the objective is to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s net. It is played on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, with goalposts at each end. The game mainly involves using players’ feet to dribble, pass, and shoot the ball, although players can also use other parts of their bodies except for their hands and arms, unless they are the designated goalkeeper.
Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, often referred to as soccer in some countries, particularly in the United States and Canada, to distinguish it from other variants like American football. The sport is governed internationally by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which organizes major competitions like the FIFA World Cup. Football has a rich history and various styles of play, and it fosters teamwork, strategy, and skill development among players. The game’s widespread appeal is further enhanced by its global fan base, various professional leagues, and tournaments at both club and national levels.
