Football

Football is a team sport in which two teams compete to score points by advancing a ball into the opposing team’s goal. It is played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. Players primarily use their feet to control, pass, and kick the ball, though different variations of the game allow for the use of other body parts. The most widely recognized form of football is association football, commonly called soccer in some countries. Other popular variations include American football, Canadian football, and rugby. Football has a rich history and is played professionally around the world, with major tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup showcasing international competition. The sport emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and skill and is one of the most popular and widely followed sports globally.
