Football

[edit]

Football is a team sport that, in varying degrees, involves kicking the ball in order to score goals. In disqualification, football usually denotes the most universal form of football where the word is consumed. The sports commonly known as soccer include association football (known as football in some countries); net football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rugby rules; rugby (or rugby league or rugby league); and Gaelic football. [1] These different forms of football have to varying degrees of common origin and are called football codes.

A friendly match (also known as a show, pre-season, warm-up, or preparatory match) is a sporting event that rewards and influences the ranking position of a friendly match. The team or the player is absent (or very few). In sports teams, this is the type of match often used for coaches and managers to select and decide players for matches in the major season or tournament. If the players often play on different teams in multiple tournaments, a friendly match gives the players an opportunity to learn how to work together. Matches can be held between two distinct teams or between sections of the same team.

Official disapproval and attempts to ban football

[edit]

There have been many attempts to ban football, from the middle ages through to the modern day. The first such law was passed in England in 1314; it was followed by more than 30 in England alone between 1314 and 1667.[2]: 6  Women were banned from playing at English and Scottish Football League grounds in 1921, a ban that was only lifted in the 1970s. Female footballers still face similar problems in some parts of the world.
