Soccer, known as football in most countries outside North America, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The objective of soccer is to score more goals than the opposing team by getting a spherical ball into their goal using any part of the body except the arms and hands (goalkeepers can use their hands within their penalty area). The game is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
Soccer is one of the most popular sports globally, with a vast following, professional leagues, and international tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup, which showcases national teams from around the world. The sport is characterized by its emphasis on skill, teamwork, and strategy. The match consists of two halves, each usually lasting 45 minutes, with added time for stoppages. Substitutions can be made during the game, and the team with the highest score at the end of the match wins. Soccer promotes physical fitness, social interaction, and sportsmanship among players and fans alike.
