It’s a game played by two teams of 11 players each on a rectangle, 100-yard-long field with goal lines and goal posts at either end, the object of the game is to try to score a goal to the opposite side by letting the ball touches the net in the goal and trying to pass the opponents players by running or passing or kicking it through the air. Football was called that name because it came from the word foot and that’s because we kick the ball using our foot. However soccer was derived from the word “asSOCiation”.

The laws of the game were published in England. Association football is governed internationally by FIFA, which organizes the World Cup every four years.
