Football, often referred to as soccer in some regions, is played between two teams of eleven players each on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The main objective is to score by getting the ball into the opposing team's goal. Players can use any part of their body except their arms and hands to control the ball, with the goalkeeper being the only player allowed to use their hands within the penalty area. The game consists of two halves, each lasting 45 minutes, and is governed by rules set by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). Key rules include offside, fouls, and free kicks, which ensure fair play. A match starts with a kickoff, and the game is officiated by a referee who enforces the rules and maintains the flow of the game.
