American Football

American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States. It involves two teams, each consisting of eleven players, competing to score points by advancing an oval-shaped ball into the opposing team’s end zone. The game is played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. Scoring can be achieved in several ways, including touchdowns (6 points), field goals (3 points), and extra points (1 or 2 points).

The game combines elements of strategy, physical skill, and teamwork, with players assigned specific roles, such as quarterbacks, receivers, and defenders, each with distinct responsibilities. American Football is characterized by its use of plays, which are pre-planned strategies executed during the game.

The sport is governed by a set of rules maintained by organizations like the National Football League (NFL) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). American Football has a significant cultural impact in the U.S., with events like the Super Bowl drawing millions of viewers and embodying the sport’s prominence in American society.
