Football is a team sport that involves two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each, competing to score goals by moving a spherical ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is played on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, which is usually grass or artificial turf. The primary objective is to score more goals than the opponent within a specified time period, usually consisting of two halves.
Football is governed by a standardized set of rules called the Laws of the Game, which are maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The most prominent form of football worldwide is association football, commonly referred to as soccer in some countries, particularly in the United States and Canada. Other variations include American football, Canadian football, and Australian rules football, each with distinct rules and gameplay.
The sport has a rich history and is played at both amateur and professional levels, featuring international competitions such as the FIFA World Cup and continental tournaments like the UEFA European Championship. Football is known for its widespread popularity, cultural significance, and passionate fan base around the globe.
