American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, characterized by two teams of eleven players each who attempt to advance an oval-shaped ball into the opposing team’s end zone to score points. The game is played on a rectangular field, with goalposts at each end. Players can advance the ball by running with it or passing it to teammates; the opposing team tries to stop them by tackling the ball carrier. Scoring can occur in several ways: a touchdown, worth six points, is scored when a player crosses the opponent’s goal line with the ball; after a touchdown, teams can attempt an extra point or a two-point conversion; field goals, worth three points, occur when the ball is kicked through the goalposts; and safeties, worth two points, are awarded for defensive plays. American Football is known for its complex plays, strategic formations, and physical contact, often involving substantial training, teamwork, and specific individual roles. The sport has a significant cultural impact in the U.S., culminating in events like the Super Bowl, which showcases its popularity.
