Soccer, also known as football in most countries outside North America, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The objective of the game is to score goals by getting a spherical ball into the opposing team’s net, using any part of the body except the arms and hands. The game is played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with a goal at each end.
Soccer is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The sport is played in two 45-minute halves, with a 15-minute halftime interval. If the score is tied in certain competitions, extra time or a penalty shootout may be used to determine the winner.
Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, with millions of fans and players globally, and it is played at various levels, from amateur to professional, including club competitions and international tournaments. The FIFA World Cup, held every four years, is one of the most prestigious events in soccer, showcasing teams from around the world. The simplicity of the game, along with its widespread accessibility, contributes to its global appeal.
