Football

What is?A game played by two teams

of 11 players each on a rectangular field with goal

lines and goal posts at either end, the object being to gain

possession of the ball and advance it in running or passing plays across the

opponent's goal line or kick it between the opponent's

goal posts.

History• Football is believed to have descended from the ancient Greek game of harpaston. Harpaston is mentioned frequently in classical

literature, where it is often referred to as a “very rough and brutal

game“. The rules of this ancient sport were quite simple: Points were awarded when a player would cross a

goal line by either kicking the ball, running with it across the goal line,

or throwing it across the line to another player. The other team’s

objective was simply to stop them by any means possible. There was no

specific field length, no side line boundaries, no specified number of players per team, only a glaring lack

of rules.

Players There are normally 11 players on the field.
