Football

Football is a team sport played between two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each, on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The objective of the game is to score goals by moving a ball into the opposing team’s goal, primarily using the feet, although players can also use other body parts except for their hands and arms, except for goalkeepers. The sport is known by various names in different regions; for instance, in the United States and Canada, it refers to American football, while in most of the world, it encompasses what is known as soccer. The game has a rich history and is governed by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) at the international level. Football is one of the most popular sports globally, with billions of fans and players, and significant competitions include the FIFA World Cup, continental championships, and club tournaments like the UEFA Champions League. Its simplicity, minimal equipment requirements, and ability to be played in various environments contribute to its widespread appeal.
