Football matches refer to competitive games played between two teams in the sport of football, which is known as soccer in some countries. These matches are structured events where teams compete to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team’s net. A standard football match typically consists of two halves, each lasting 45 minutes, with a halftime break in between. The team with the most goals at the end of the match is declared the winner.
Football matches can take place at various levels, from amateur games to professional leagues and international tournaments. Matches can also be played in different formats, including friendly matches, which are non-competitive, and tournament matches, where the outcome affects progression in a competition. The rules governing football matches are set by the Laws of the Game, defined by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). Major football matches, such as those in the FIFA World Cup or UEFA Champions League, attract significant audience and media attention globally.
