Футбол

Футбол (football) is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, typically on a rectangular field with a goal post at each end. The objective of the game is to score by getting a spherical ball into the opposing team’s goal. The sport is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, established by the International Football Association Board. Football is played globally and is known for its immense popularity, cultural significance, and influence in many countries. It is often referred to as “soccer” in certain regions, particularly in the United States and Canada, to distinguish it from other types of football, such as American football or Canadian football. Football matches are typically played over two halves of 45 minutes each, and the team with the most goals at the end of the match wins. In the event of a tie, depending on the competition rules, the game may proceed to extra time or a penalty shootout. Football is recognized for its ability to bring communities together and for its passionate fan culture.
