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 ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with a goal at each end. Players primarily use their feet to control and propel the ball, although they may use any part of their body except their arms and hands; only the goalkeepers are permitted to handle the ball within their penalty area.

Football is governed by the Laws of the Game established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) and is widely considered the world’s most popular sport, with millions of fans and players globally. Major competitions include international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup and continental championships, as well as domestic leagues such as the English Premier League. Football fosters teamwork, strategy, and athletic skills, and has significant cultural and social impact around the world.
