Soccer, or football (futbol), is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players, and is the most popular sport in the world. It is a variant of football played on a rectangular field of grass or artificial turf with a goal at each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by moving the ball into the opposing goal. In general, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to use their hands or arms to propel the ball, and the rest of the team usually uses their feet to kick the ball into position, while occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match is the winner.
