HISTORY OF FOOTBALL

Football is a sport that uses balls that are generally made of leather and is played by two teams of 11 (eleven) core players and several reserve players.

Competition rules are generally updated annually by the parent of the international soccer organization (FIFA), which also organizes the World Cup every four years.

Football is played in a rectangular open field, on grass or artificial grass.

In general, only the goalkeeper has the right to touch the ball with his hand or arm in his net, while 10 (ten) players are allowed to use his entire body other than his hands, usually with his legs kicked, the chest to control, and the head to head the ball.

The team that scores the most at the end of the match is the winner. If until the end time is still a draw, it can be drawn, extra time or penalty shootouts, depending on the format of the championship.

From an official match, 3 points are awarded to the winning team, 0 points for the losing team and 1 point each for the two teams who draw.
