Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, primarily known for its objective of scoring goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is typically played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The primary means of moving the ball is by kicking, and players are not allowed to use their hands or arms to control the ball, except for the goalkeepers who can handle the ball within their penalty area. The sport is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, which encompass various aspects of play, such as scoring, fouls, and player conduct.
Football is also widely referred to as “soccer” in some countries, particularly in the United States and Canada, to distinguish it from American football. It is recognized as the world’s most popular sport, with a massive following and participation at both professional and amateur levels across the globe. Major international competitions such as the FIFA World Cup and continental tournaments contribute to its global appeal and significance. Football promotes teamwork, physical fitness, and strategic thinking, making it a vital part of cultural and social life in many regions.
