American Football

American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, characterized by two teams of eleven players each. The objective is to score points by advancing an oval ball into the opposing team’s end zone, either by carrying it or passing it. Points can be scored in several ways: a touchdown, worth six points, is achieved by carrying the ball into the end zone; a field goal, worth three points, is scored by kicking the ball through the opponent’s goalposts; and extra points or two-point conversions are often attempted after a touchdown.

The game is played on a rectangular field, with goalposts at each end and marked with yard lines to measure progress. The game consists of four quarters, with each team taking turns to possess the ball, aiming to move down the field and score while the opposing team attempts to prevent them. Specific rules govern the play, including restrictions on blocking and tackling. American Football is known for its strategic play-calling, physical intensity, and a series of specialized roles for players, ranging from quarterbacks to defensive linemen. It culminates in yearly championships, with the Super Bowl being one of the most watched sporting events globally.
