Football, commonly referred to as soccer in some regions, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The objective of the game is to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s net, using any part of the body except the arms and hands. The game is played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with a goal at each end. A standard match consists of two halves, each lasting 45 minutes, with a 15-minute halftime break.
Football is governed by the Laws of the Game, which are maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The sport is the most popular in the world, both in terms of participation and viewership, with major international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup and continental competitions drawing millions of fans. Football emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and physical fitness, and it has a significant cultural impact in many countries. The sport is characterized by its fluid gameplay and the skill required for dribbling, passing, and shooting, making it a dynamic and engaging sporting activity.
