Soccer, also known as football in many parts of the world, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The objective of the game is to score goals by kicking the ball into the opposing team's net. The team with the most goals at the end of the game is declared the winner.

The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The ball is typically made of leather and must be spherical in shape. Players are not allowed to use their hands or arms to touch the ball, except for the goalkeeper who is allowed to use their hands within their own penalty area.

Soccer requires a high level of speed and endurance. It is played in over 200 countries, making it the world’s most popular sport.
