American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, characterized by two teams of eleven players each who compete to advance an oblong ball into the opposing team’s end zone to score points. The objective of the game is to score touchdowns, worth six points, by carrying the ball across the opponent’s goal line or catching a pass in the end zone. Additionally, teams can earn points through field goals, worth three points, or extra points after touchdowns.
The game is played on a rectangular field measuring 100 yards long, with end zones at either end. Each team has a designated offense trying to score and a defense attempting to prevent scoring. The match consists of four quarters, each typically lasting 15 minutes, with halftime between the second and third quarters.
American Football involves various strategies, plays, and formations, as well as a distinct set of rules governing the movement of players, handling of the ball, and scoring. It is known for its physical contact, tactical complexity, and the significant role of specialized positions such as quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. The sport is governed by organizations like the National Football League (NFL) at the professional level, and college football organizations at the amateur level.
