Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a
sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical
ball. At the turn of the 21st century, the game was played by over 250
million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most
popular sport.[1][2][3][4] The game is played on a rectangular field
of grass or green artificial turf, with a goal in the middle of each
of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by driving the
ball into the opposing goal.
In general play, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch
the ball with their hands or arms, while the field players typically
use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using
their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that
scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is
tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game
goes into extra time 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 and have
evolved since then. Association football is governed internationally
by FIFA, which organises the FIFA World Cup every four years..
