Fotboll, known as soccer in some countries, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. 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 pass the ball, but goalkeepers can use their hands within the penalty area. The sport is governed by the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and is played worldwide, making it one of the most popular sports. Major competitions include the FIFA World Cup and various domestic leagues, such as the Premier League in England. Fotboll promotes teamwork, strategy, and physical fitness among players.
