Soccer, known as football in most countries outside North America, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The game is played on a rectangular field, referred to as a pitch, with a goal at each end. The objective is to score by getting the ball into the opposing team’s goal. Players primarily use their feet to move the ball, although they can also use other parts of their body, excluding the arms and hands, unless they are the designated goalkeeper.
A standard soccer match is typically played over two halves of 45 minutes each, with a halftime interval. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. In the event of a tie, various tie-breaking measures may be employed, depending on the competition rules, such as extra time or penalty shootouts.
Soccer is governed internationally by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and is one of the most widely played and followed sports in the world, with significant cultural and social impact in many countries. It emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and skill, making it a dynamic and engaging sport for players and fans alike.
