Futebol, known as soccer in many countries, is a popular 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. Players primarily use their feet to control and kick the ball, but they can also use their heads and torsos. The game is played on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, with a goal at each end. The sport is governed by FIFA, the international governing body, which organizes major tournaments like the FIFA World Cup. Futebol is especially popular in countries like Brazil, Germany, and Italy, where it is a significant part of the culture and community.
