Football

Football is a team sport played between two teams typically consisting of eleven players each. The objective of the game is to score goals by getting a spherical ball into the opposing team’s goal, primarily using feet, but players can also use their heads and torso. In most regions, it is played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with a goal at each end.

The term “football” can refer to different types of games depending on the region; for example, in the United States and Canada, it often denotes American football, while in the rest of the world, it refers to what is known as soccer in North America. The game is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, which outline aspects such as the dimensions of the field, the number of players, and conduct during the game.

Football is one of the most popular sports globally and is played at various levels, from amateur leagues to professional leagues and international competitions, including the FIFA World Cup. The sport promotes teamwork, strategy, and physical fitness, making it a significant cultural and social activity in many countries.
