Fútbol, 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, called a pitch, with a goal at each end. Players primarily use their feet to control and pass the ball, but the goalkeeper can use their hands within a designated area. The game is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, established by the International Football Association Board. Fútbol is one of the most popular sports worldwide, with major tournaments like the FIFA World Cup attracting millions of fans.
