The "Laws of the Game" are a set of rules that govern the sport of football (or soccer) worldwide. Established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), these laws cover various aspects of the game, including player conduct, scoring, and the roles of officials. They ensure fair play and consistency in matches across different levels and competitions. Each law addresses specific elements, such as the size of the field, the number of players, and the use of various equipment. The laws are regularly reviewed and updated to adapt to the evolving nature of the game, ensuring that football remains safe and enjoyable for everyone involved.
