American Football

American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, in which two teams, typically consisting of 11 players each, compete to advance an oval-shaped ball into the opponent’s end zone to score points. The game is played on a rectangular field with goal posts at both ends. The objective is to score touchdowns, field goals, or extra points.

The game combines elements of strategy, physical strength, and skill, featuring plays that involve passing, running, and blocking. The team with possession of the ball (offense) attempts to move it down the field in a series of plays, while the opposing team (defense) attempts to stop them and regain control of the ball.

American Football is governed by specific rules, including downs, which allow the offense a limited number of attempts to advance the ball a certain distance, and the concept of scoring through touchdowns (worth six points), extra point attempts (worth one or two points), and field goals (worth three points). The sport is known for its structured gameplay, tactical complexity, and enthusiastic fan base, making it one of the most popular sports in the U.S., especially highlighted by events like the Super Bowl.
