Men's football, also 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. Matches are typically played on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, and are governed by a set of rules called the Laws of the Game, established by the International Football Association Board. The sport is governed globally by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which organizes major tournaments like the FIFA World Cup. Men's football is popular worldwide, with professional leagues in many countries, including the English Premier League and La Liga in Spain, attracting millions of fans and players.
