A football game is a competitive sport played between two teams of eleven players each, who use their feet, head, or torso to pass a spherical ball with the primary objective of scoring by getting the ball into the opposing team's goal. The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. It is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, overseen by a referee and assistant referees. A standard match consists of two 45-minute halves with a 15-minute halftime break. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied, the result may be a draw, or the game may go into extra time or a penalty shootout, depending on the competition's rules. Football is the world's most popular sport, known for its fast pace, strategic depth, and global appeal.
