Football, in general terms, refers to a team sport played primarily with a spherical ball. The objective of the game is to score goals by maneuvering the ball into the opposing team’s net. While “football” can denote various forms of the game in different regions, the most prominent version globally is known as soccer in some countries, particularly the United States and Canada.
In soccer, each team typically consists of eleven players, including a goalkeeper, and matches are played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. The game emphasizes skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, and strategic teamwork. Football is characterized by its continuous play and the use of feet to control the ball, although players can also use their heads and torsos.
In other contexts, “football” may refer to different codes of the sport, such as American football, Australian rules football, or rugby football, each having its own rules and styles of play. However, the term is most commonly associated with association football (soccer), which is the world’s most popular sport, governed internationally by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association).
