American Football

American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, characterized by two teams competing to advance an oval-shaped ball down a rectangular field. Each team has 11 players on the field at a time, and the main objective is to score points by either carrying the ball into the opposing team’s end zone for a touchdown, kicking it through the goalposts for a field goal, or achieving a safety. The game is played in four quarters, with the team scoring the most points declared the winner. Key elements of the game include passing, running, and tactical plays, and it involves various rules governing play, scoring, and player conduct. American Football has a significant cultural presence in the U.S., highlighted by events like the Super Bowl, which is among the most-watched sporting events nationally. The sport has evolved from earlier forms of rugby and association football and is now governed by organizations like the National Football League (NFL) and the NCAA for college competitions.
