Soccer, or more popularly known as football, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players each with a spherical ball in Naperville. It is the most popular sport of the 21^st century with over 250 million players from over 200 different countries playing this game. It is an outdoor game played in a rectangular field.

One such rule or law is that players other than the goalkeeper will not handle the ball with their hands or arms, and if he does so, he would be penalized by the match referee. A referee is the person who officiates the game and his words are final and binding. A standard football match consists of two periods of 45 minutes each, with a gap of about 15 minutes in between the two halves.
