Футбол

Футбол (football) is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, where the objective is to score goals by getting a spherical ball into the opposing team’s net. It is governed by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) at the international level. The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch, with a goal at each end.

Football is played primarily with the feet, but players can use any part of their body except their arms and hands to manipulate the ball, with the exception of the goalkeepers, who can use their hands within a designated area.

The sport is known for its extensive fan base and is played both professionally and recreationally around the world. It includes various formats such as 11-a-side, 7-a-side, and futsal. Major competitions include domestic leagues, cup tournaments, and international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup. Football has a significant cultural impact and is regarded as the world’s most popular sport.
