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 primary objective is to score goals by propelling a ball into the opposing team’s goal using any part of the body except the arms and hands (goalkeepers are an exception). The sport is governed by rules known as the Laws of the Game, established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
Football is widely played and followed globally, with its most prominent professional association being FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), which organizes major competitions like the FIFA World Cup. The term “football” can refer to various forms of the game, including association football (soccer), American football, Canadian football, and Australian rules football, depending on the region and context. In many countries, “football” specifically denotes association football (soccer), while other variants are specified by additional terms (e.g., American football, Canadian football). The sport is celebrated for its strategic depth, skill, athleticism, and the passionate following of its fans.
