Football is a team sport played between two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each, with the objective of scoring goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is primarily played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with a goal at each end. Players predominantly use their feet to control the ball, although in most instances, they are allowed to use their torso and head but not their arms or hands, except for the goalkeeper.

The term “football” can refer to various types of games played worldwide, most notably association football (commonly known as soccer in some countries), American football, and rugby football. However, in many parts of the world, “football” specifically denotes association football—the version recognized by FIFA, which governs international play. The game is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, which dictate how the game is played, scored, and officiated. Football is one of the most popular sports globally, known for its passionate fan base and significant cultural and economic impact.
