WaiBOP Football Rules I

A game of football is played according to internationally agreed rules, also known as the laws of the game. There are two teams, each consisting of 11 players, that compete against each other to get the ball in the other team’s goal, which counts as one point or goal. The standard for the ball that is used for the game is usually 68-70 cm in circumference. At the end of the game, the team that scored more goals is the winner of the match. If the number of goals is equal, then the game is considered a draw. One of the main rules of the game is that the players may not touch the ball with their arms and hands, except the goalkeeper.

WaiBOP Football Rules II

The players may use other body parts though, usually the forehead. During normal play, the players are allowed to move the ball in any direction on the field except they may not pass to players who are in offside. The attacking team’s objective is to score a goal. The players can go about this controlling the ball and where it goes, by passing it to a teammate, dribbling and taking shots at the opposite’s team goal, which is guarded by that team’s goalkeeper. On the other side, the players from the second team may try to gain control of the ball from their opponents by intercepting an attempted pass or through directly taking the ball from the player. All of this should be done without players making physical contact with each other.
