football balls

Football, also known as soccer in some countries, is the world’s most popular sport played by two teams of 11 players on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The primary objective is to score goals by advancing a spherical ball into the opposing goal using any part of the body except the hands and arms (goalkeepers are the exception). Played professionally and recreationally in nearly every country, football promotes teamwork, athleticism, and strategic thinking. Major international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League, and Copa América attract millions of viewers and fans across the globe, making it not just a sport but a cultural phenomenon.
