The sport typically played on a field with goals at both ends is soccer, known as football outside North America. Soccer is one of the world's most popular sports, played by two teams, each consisting of eleven players, on a rectangular field. The game's objective is to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s net. Soccer's global appeal comes from its simplicity; it requires minimal equipment, making it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. Major events like the FIFA World Cup highlight the sport's international significance and cultural impact.
