Football, also known as soccer, is one of the most popular sports globally. The game attracts attention not only in regions with strong football cultures such as Europe, South America, and Africa but also in emerging football markets such as Asia and North America.

Football is a sport where two teams confront each other on a rectangular field, following certain rules. Due to the characteristics of strong confrontation, changing tactics, and the participation of many players, it is considered "the world's number one sport."

Football originated in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, and Latin America in the early 19th century. However, at the time, the rules were not standardized. In 1848, Cambridge University and Oxford University in the UK formulated a series of rules for football games, leading to the birth of the first form of text in the history of football, the "Cambridge Rules."

On December 26, 1863, the British established the first football association - England Football Association on Queens of London. The establishment of the England Football Association marked the beginning of a new era in football's development. Thus, December 26, 1863, is widely recognized as the birth of modern football.

The standard football game involves two teams of 11 players, including ten outfield players and one goalkeeper, fighting against each other on a rectangular grass field. The game aims to try to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal, with each successful attempt scoring one point. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins.

A football is spherical and made of leather or other suitable materials. It is typically composed of 12 black positive pentagonal fabrics and 20 positive hexagonal fabrics. The sphere's perimeter must not exceed 70 cm and must not be less than 68 cm, and it should weigh no more than 450 grams.
