Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most popular sport. The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end.

The field preparations are easier – lines, two goals and four flags. No helmets, no pads, no dirt infields, no markers for every yard on the field, no outfield fences. Soccer fields can even vary in size to fit the space available – the perfect 100-yard square field and the rectangular 130-by-50 are both within official regulations. That makes the game more accessible, which makes pure talent more
