Women's football, also known as women's soccer, is a team sport played by women, where two teams compete to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team's net. The game follows the same basic rules as men's football, including the use of a round ball, a rectangular field, and specific positions like forwards and defenders. The sport has gained significant popularity worldwide, with major tournaments such as the FIFA Women's World Cup showcasing top national teams. Professional leagues, like the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) in the United States, provide opportunities for women athletes to compete at high levels and inspire future generations.
