Introduction about a Football Game

In a football game, players control and move the ball with their feet (and occasionally other parts of their bodies). Except for the custodian, who may use his or her hands inside the goal area.

A rectangular pitch with goals at each end is used to play football. One of the most played and viewed sports in the world is this one.

There were two 45-minute halves in the game, making the overall game time 90 minutes. A football of 68–70 cm (27–28 in) in circumference is used to play the game. Players must wear a shirt, shorts, socks, shoes, and proper shin protection as part of their standard equipment, or kit.

The winning team is the one with the most goals scored at the end of the contest. Depending on the competition’s rules, a game could go into extra time or a penalty shootout if there are an equal number of goals scored.
