Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is
a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. It is played by 250 million players in over 200
countries, making it the world's most popular sport. The game is played on a
rectangular field with
a goal at each
end. The object of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing
goal.
The goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with
their hands or arms while it is in play and then only in their penalty area. Outfield players mostly use their feet to strike or
pass the ball, but may use their head or
torso to strike the ball instead. The team that scores the most goals by the
end of the match wins. If the score is level at the end of the game, either a draw is
declared or the game goes into extra and/or a penalty shootout depending on the format of the competition.
The Laws of the Game were
originally codified in England by The Football Association in 1863. Association football is governed
internationally by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA; French: Fédération Internationale de Football
Association) which organizes a World Cup every four years.
