Football is a team sport that involves two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each, competing to score goals by propelling a spherical ball into the opposing team’s net using predominantly their feet. The game is played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with markings that define areas for play. The primary objective is to score more goals than the opposing team within a defined period, usually consisting of two halves of 45 minutes each.
Football is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The sport emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and skill, with players utilizing various techniques such as dribbling, passing, and shooting to control the ball and create scoring opportunities.
