Football

Football refers to a variety of team sports that involve players using their feet to propel a ball towards a goal. The term commonly denotes association football, known as soccer in some regions, which is played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The objective is to score by getting the ball into the opponent’s goal.

However, the term “football” can also refer to different codes of football, such as American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football, and rugby football, each with its own specific rules and style of play.

In a broader sense, football encompasses all forms of the sport, which typically share the core element of kicking a ball to achieve goals, and embodies elements such as teamwork, strategy, and competition. Football is one of the most popular sports globally, with billions of fans and players, and significant cultural and economic impact.
