Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, where the objective is to score goals by moving a ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is played on a rectangular field, commonly known as a pitch, with a goal at each end. Players primarily use their feet to control the ball, though they can use their bodies except for the goalkeeper, who is allowed to use their hands within a designated area.
Football is known for its global popularity and is governed by rules established by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), which organizes major competitions like the FIFA World Cup. There are various forms of football, including association football (soccer), American football, and Canadian football, each with different rules and play styles. However, the term “football” most often refers to association football in most parts of the world, while in the United States and Canada, it typically refers to American football. The sport promotes teamwork, strategy, and physical fitness and has a rich cultural significance in many societies, often considered a unifying game that brings people together.
