In this article let us initially talk of football. This is a team sport and it is played between two teams of 11 players each and a spherical ball is used. In talking about this game there are so many factors to be discussed. The following subjects have to be discussed:- History, gamesplay, laws of the game, Players, equipment and officials, duration and tie breaking methods, pitch, Misconduct. Governing Bodies, domestic competitions, etymology and international competitions. I will discuss as many as possible, space permitting.

Different kinds of football played at public schools in England gave way for the modern rules of football around the world. In 1848, the Cambridge Rules were drawn up at Trinity College, Cambridge by representatives of Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury. These rules were not universally accepted and different clubs had different rules. Then the Football Association was formed in 1863 and set up rules of the game. However, some clubs did not follow the rules. In 1886, the International Football Association Board was formed and now the laws of the games are determined by this body. There are seventeen laws of the game.
