Foot ball is a sport played between two teams of
eleven players with a spherical ball. It is played by 250
million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most popular sport.
It can be played by anyone, no matter it is man or woman, from child to
adult. The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The
object of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal.
The goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the
ball with their hands or arms while it is in play and then only in their
penalty area. Outfield players mostly use their feet to strike or pass the
ball, but may use their head or torso to strike the ball instead. The team that
scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is level at
the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time
and/or a penalty shootout depending on the format of the competition. The laws
of the game were originally codified in England by The Football Association in
1863, the laws made to synchronize some different rules among the countries.
Association football is governed internationally by the International
Federation of Association Football (FIFA; French: Fédération Internationale de
Football Association) which organises a World Cup every four years.
The major international competition in football is the World
Cup, organised by FIFA. This competition takes place every four years.
Approximately 190–200 national teams compete in qualifying tournaments within
the scope of continental confederations for a place in the finals. The finals
tournament, which is held every four years, involves 32 national teams competing
over a four-week period. The most recent edition of the tournament is the 2014
FIFA World Cup, which is being held in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014.
