About Football
• Football is a game originally developed in China
about 500 years from now.
• It is the most followed and loved sport of the
century and is played by two teams each team
consisting of 11 players at a time.
• The game is termed to be most loved game of the
earth as it is played in about 200 different
countries and is played by about 250 million
players. However, there is a different format to
the game with different names, the one that I
follow is known as Soccer or Association Football.
• The main and highest governing body of
Association Football is FIFA.

The Football Ground
Football is the game played on a rectangular
grass field with goal posts on each end of the
smaller length sides of the rectangular field.
Each team is assigned a goal side and has the
responsibility to protect it and score a goal in
the opposite team's goal side. The objective of
the game is for players to place the ball inside
goalpost to score a point.
The measurements of the rectangular field
range from 110-120 yards in length and 64-75
yards in width.
