⚽️ Soccer ⚽️
The World's Game
Soccer is also called "football" in many
parts of the world. Association football, more commonly known as simply
football or soccer[a] (a shortening of the word "association"), is a
team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of 11 players.
It is played by approximately 250 million players in over 200 countries
and dependencies, making it the world's most popular sport.
The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch with a goal
at each end. The object of the game is to outscore the opposition by
moving the ball beyond the goal line into the opposing goal. The team
with the higher number of goals wins the game.
