X. Learning Content:
Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score
a goal. Unqualified, the word football is understood to refer to whichever form of football is the
most popular in the regional context in which the word appears. Sports commonly
called football in certain places include association football (known as soccer in some
countries); gridiron football(specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian
rules football; rugby football (either rugby league or rugby union); and Gaelic football. These
different variations of football are known as football codes.
There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, or prehistoric ball games played by
indigenous peoples in many different parts of the world. Contemporary codes of football can be
traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools during the nineteenth
century. The expansion of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of
British influence outside the directly controlled Empire. By the end of the nineteenth century,
distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic football, for example, deliberately
incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage. In
1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional
football competitions. During the twentieth century, several of the various kinds of football grew
to become some of the most popular team sports in the world.

Football (Soccer) Rules

Football (Soccer) is one of the oldest sports in the world and with that; it’s also one of the most
recognised. The pinnacle of the international game comes in the form the Football World Cup.
There are also tournament such as the Euro Championships, Copa America and the African Cup
of Nations. Domestically the strongest leagues come from England (English Premier League),
Spain (La Liga), Italy (Serie A) and Germany (Bundesliga). In parts of the world the sport is also
known as Soccer.

Object of the Game

The aim of football is to score more goals then your opponent in a 90 minute playing time frame.
The match is split up into two halves of 45 minutes. After the first 45 minutes players will take a
15 minute rest period called half time. The second 45 minutes will resume and any time deemed
fit to be added on by the referee (injury time) will be accordingly.

Players & Equipment

Each team consists of 11 players. These are made up of one goalkeeper and ten outfield players.
The pitch dimensions vary from each ground but are roughly 120 yards long and 75 yards wide.
On each pitch you will have a 6 yard box next to the goal mouth, an 18 yard box surrounding the
6 yard box and a centre circle. Each half of the pitch must be a mirror image of the other in terms
of dimensions.

Essentially the equipment that is needed for a soccer match is pitch and a football. Additionally
players can be found wearing studded football boots, shin pads and matching strips. The
goalkeepers will additionally wear padded gloves as they are the only players allowed to handle
the ball. Each team will have a designated captain.

Scoring

To score the ball must go into your opponent’s goal. The whole ball needs to be over the line for
it to be a legitimate goal. A goal can be scored with any part of the body apart from the hand or
arm up to the shoulder. The goal itself consists of a frame measuring 8 feet high and 8 yards
wide.

Winning the Game

To win you have to score more goals than that of your opponents. If the scores are level after 90
minutes then the game will end as a draw apart from in cup games where the game can go to
extra time and even a penalty shootout to decide the winner. Players must use their feet to kick
the ball and are prohibited to use their hands apart from goalkeepers who can use any part of
their body within the 18 yard box (of which more can be found out in the next section).

Rules of Football (Soccer)

 A match consists of two 45 minutes halves with a 15 minute rest period in between.
 Each team can have a minimum off 11 players (including 1 goalkeeper who is the only
player allowed to handle the ball within the 18 yard box) and a minimum of 7 players are
needed to constitute a match.
 The field must be made of either artificial or natural grass. The size of pitches is allowed
to vary but must be within 100-130 yards long and 50-100 yards wide. The pitch must
also be marked with a rectangular shape around the outside showing out of bounds, two
six yard boxes, two 18 yard boxes and a centre circle. A spot for a penalty placed 12
yards out of both goals and centre circle must also be visible.
 The ball must have a circumference of 58-61cm and be of a circular shape.
 Each team can name up to 7 substitute players. Substitutions can be made at any time of
the match with each team being able to make a maximum of 3 substitutions per side. In
the event of all three substitutes being made and a player having to leave the field for
injury the team will be forced to play without a replacement for that player.
 Each game must include one referee and two assistant referee’s (linesmen). It’s the job of
the referee to act as time keeper and make any decisions which may need to be made
such as fouls, free kicks, throw ins, penalties and added on time at the end of each half.
The referee may consult the assistant referees at any time in the match regarding a
decision. It’s the assistant referee’s job to spot offside’s in the match (see below), throw
ins for either team and also assist the referee in all decision making processes where
appropriate.
 If the game needs to head to extra time as a result of both teams being level in a match
then 30 minutes will be added in the form of two 15 minute halves after the allotted 90
minutes.
 If teams are still level after extra time then a penalty shootout must take place.
 The whole ball must cross the goal line for it to constitute as a goal.
 For fouls committed a player could receive either a yellow or red card depending on the
severity of the foul; this comes down to the referee’s discretion. The yellow is a warning
and a red card is a dismissal of that player. Two yellow cards will equal one red. Once a
player is sent off then they cannot be replaced.
 If a ball goes out of play off an opponent in either of the side lines then it is given as a
throw in. If it goes out of play off an attacking player on the base line then it is a goal
kick. If it comes off a defending player it is a corner kick.

The Offside Rule in Football

Offside can be called when an attacking player is in front of the last defender when the pass is
played through to them. The offside area is designed to discourage players from simply hanging
around the opponent’s goal waiting for a pass. To be onside they must be placed behind the last
defender when the ball is played to them. If the player is in front of that last defender then he is
deemed to be offside and free kick to the defending team will be called.

A player cannot be caught offside in their own half. The goalkeeper does not count as a defender.
If the ball is played backwards and the player is in front of the last defender then he is deemed to
be not offside.
