Association football, also known as just football Association, is a professional team sport played between a rotating group of eleven players. It is played daily throughout the year in about 200 countries and territories, making it the most popular game in the world. The game is usually played between teams from the same country or in the same region, although international tournaments are regularly organized. The game is played for three periods of sixty minutes each, making it fast paced and exciting. The game involves both offensive and defensive strategies, and goals are scored through any means deemed possible by the match officials, including kicks and hits with the ball.

Association football was first played between teams of young children, using modified "flamingo" rules that were eventually adopted into the English game we know today. warpfootball In its early years, Association football was known only to African Americans in America. It was only in the twentieth century that Association football began to be played internationally, attracting crowds from all over Europe and beyond. Today, many nations participate in Association football, including Belgium, Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Wales. Each nation has its own unique style of play, with each club using a particular formation and using a particular system of play.

Association football is governed by a strict code of ethics which governs the amount of money that can be spent on a national team, how coaches and other team staff may interact with their players and with other teams, and the rules and regulations governing the use of football boots. The game is administered by a body called the FIFA (Federation of International Football Associations) which manages the affairs of the games. Each association football team is governed by a committee of fifteen members, of which six are appointed by the governments of the various countries. At the start of the tournament, representatives of each country are invited to take part in a FIFA training camp which is held in different venues around the globe.

There are two different types of Association football: the la liga and the national cup. The association Cup comprises the European and American leagues, the latter being referred to as the World Cup. Both leagues have their own respective championships, the European Cup and the Olympic Games. The la liga, which is the Spanish league, awards the Clausura trophy, the top prize for the Clausura 2021, the most recent competition.

The object of Association football is for the teams to play each other continuously for three periods, three minutes per quarter and three seconds per quarter. The match is usually played at pitches either indoor or outdoor, and uses a ball made out of synthetic material. The football surface varies over time and is subject to change: at present it is normally a high-quality polyethylene turf which are extremely durable, tough, soft and slip-resistant, but the surface can also be altered to any standard playing surface by means of a specially-formulated playing surface.

The referee awards a penalty kick after a foul is committed by one of the players. This is either a direct foul or a sliding foot fault. After a foul is committed, one of the team players may send off the opposing player by making an obvious kicking motion with the foot. The sending off is not a penalty as such; the defending team does not get penalty points and the winning team gets an extra time and a penalty kick. However, this is referred to as the "penalty shootout". If there is still a tie after the penalty Shootout, the game is scored through extra time.
