Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, typically played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The objective of the game is to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s goal. The players primarily use their feet to move the ball, although they can also use their heads and bodies, except for the goalkeepers, who can use their hands within a designated area.
Football is known for its global popularity, with major tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup and leagues like the English Premier League attracting millions of fans worldwide. The sport is governed by specific rules known as the Laws of the Game, established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
The term “football” may refer to different variations of the game depending on the region; for example, in the United States and Canada, “football” typically refers to American football, a different sport that evolved from rugby. However, in most other parts of the world, “football” specifically denotes the game played by association football (soccer). Overall, football is universally celebrated for its competitive spirit and skillful play, making it one of the most played and watched sports around the globe.
