Футбол

Футбол, in the UK context, refers to the sport known as football, commonly called soccer in some countries, particularly the United States and Canada. It is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, where the objective is to score goals by getting a spherical ball into the opposing team’s net using any part of the body except the hands and arms, with the exception of the goalkeepers, who can use their hands within the penalty area. The game is played on a rectangular field known as a pitch, with a goal at each end, and is governed by a set of rules called the Laws of the Game. Football is one of the most popular sports globally, with a rich history and significant cultural impact, particularly in the UK, where major leagues and competitions, such as the Premier League and the FA Cup, are held.
