| Summary: | Association football or more commonly known as football or soccer is a team sport
played between two teams of eleven players of each side with a spherical ball. Over 200
countries and dependencies played this sport and it makes this sport is the world’s most popular
sport. The game of football 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 players are not allowed to
touch the ball by their hands or arms while it is in play. Only goalkeepers are allowed to touch
the ball but only when within their penalty area. Other players mainly use their feet to strike or
pass the ball, but they may also use their head or torso. The team that scores the most goals by
end of the match wins the game. If the score level at the end of the match, either a draw is
declared or the game goes into extra time or 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 Federation
International of Football Association (FIFA). This football association also organizes World
Cups for both men and women every four years. FIFA is an association governed by Swiss Law
that founded in 1904 and based in Zurich and it also has 211 member associations. |
