About Football Game
Football, also called association football or soccer, is a game involving two

teams of 11 players who try to maneuver the ball into the other team's goal
without using their hands or arms. The team that scores more goals
wins. Football is the world's most popular ball game in numbers of participants
and spectators.
Rules Of Football:
• A match consists of two 45 minutes halves with a 15 minute rest period in between.
• Each team can have a minimum off 11 players (including 1 goalkeeper who is the
only player allowed to handle the ball within the 18 yard box) and a minimum of 7
players are needed to constitute a match.
• Each game must include one referee and two assistant referee’s (linesmen). It’s the
job of the referee to act as time keeper and make any decisions which may need to
be made such as fouls, free kicks, throw ins, penalties and added on time at the
end of each half. The referee may consult the assistant referees at any time in the
match regarding a decision. It’s the assistant referee’s job to spot offside’s in the
match (see below), throw ins for either team and also assist the referee in all
decision making processes where appropriate
• If the game needs to head to extra time as a result of both teams being level
in a match then 30 minutes will be added in the form of two 15 minute halves
after the allotted 90 minutes.
• If teams are still level after extra time then a penalty shootout must take
place.
• The whole ball must cross the goal line for it to constitute as a goal.
• For fouls committed a player could receive either a yellow or red card
depending on the severity of the foul; this comes down to the referee’s
discretion. The yellow is a warning and a red card is a dismissal of that player.
Two yellow cards will equal one red. Once a player is sent off then they
cannot be replaced.
• If a ball goes out of play off an opponent in either of the side lines then it is
given as a throw in. If it goes out of play off an attacking player on the base
line then it is a goal kick. If it comes off a defending player it is a corner kick.
History Of Football
• Football is the world’s most popular ball game in numbers of participants and
spectators. Simple in its principal rules and essential equipment, the sport
can be played almost anywhere, from official football playing fields (pitches)
to gymnasiums, streets, school playgrounds, parks, or beaches. Football’s
governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA),
estimated that at the turn of the 21st century there were approximately 250
million football players and over 1.3 billion people “interested” in football; in
2010 a combined television audience of more than 26 billion watched
football’s premier tournament, the quadrennial month-long World Cup finals.
• The first known examples of a team game involving a ball, which was made out of a
rock, occurred in old Mesoamerican cultures for over 3,000 years ago. According to the
sources, the ball would symbolize the sun and the captain of the losing team would be
sacrificed to the gods.
The first known ball game which also involved kicking took place In China in the 3rd
and 2nd century BC under the name Cuju. Cuju was played with a round ball on an area
of a square. It later spread to Japan and was practiced under ceremonial forms.
Other earlier variety of ball games had been known from Ancient Greece. The ball was
made by shreds of leather filled with hair (the first documents of balls filled with air are
from the 7th century). In the Ancient Rome, games with balls were not included in the
entertainment on the big arenas, but could occur in exercises in the military. It was the
Roman culture that would bring football to the British island (Britannica). It is,
however, uncertain in which degree the British people were influenced by this variety
and in which degree they had developed their own variants.
• The most admitted story tells that the game was developed in England in the 12th century. In this
century, games that resembled football were played on meadows and roads in England. Besides
from kicks, the game involved also punches of the ball with the fist. This early form of football was
also much more rough and violent than the modern way of playing. An important feature of the
forerunners to football was that the games involved plenty of people and took place over large
areas in towns (an equivalent was played in Florence from the 16th century where it was called
Calcio). The rampage of these games would cause damage on the town and sometimes death.
These would be among the reasons for the proclamations against the game that finally was
forbidden for several centuries. But the football-like games would return to the streets of London in
the 17th century. It would be forbidden again in 1835, but at this stage the game had been
established in the public schools.
• It took, however, long time until the features of today’s football had been taken into practice. For a
long time there was no clear distinction between football and rugby. There were also many
variations concerning the size of the ball, the number of players and the length of a match.
• The game was often played in schools and two of the predominant schools were Rugby and Eton.
At Rugby the rules included the possibility to take up the ball with the hands and the game we
today know as rugby has its origin from here. At Eton on the other hand the ball was played
exclusively with the feet and this game can be seen as a close predecessor to the modern football.
The game in Rugby was called “the running game” while the game in Eton was called “the dribbling
game”.
