It is played by everyone and transcends all boundaries, borders, languages, religion,gender, colour and race.

         
           Two teams of 11 players(excluding substitutes) each take part in a football match.

They attempt to send a round ball into their opponent’s goal. A successful attempt is called “scoring a goal”. The team with the most number of goal within the 90 minutes of playing time(divided into two halves of 45 minutes with some additional time called “injury or added time”) wins the match. Players use their feet, head or any other part of the body except for the hands and arms to propel or control the ball. One player from each side, the goalkeeper, may handle the ball, but only in a restricted area around the goal called the “D-box”. There is considerable physical contact as opposing players contest possession of the ball.
