American Football

American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, characterized by its unique blend of strategy, physicality, and teamwork. The game is played on a rectangular field with end zones at each end, and involves two teams of eleven players each. The primary objective is to score points by advancing the football into the opposing team’s end zone, either by running with the ball or by passing it.

Points can be scored in several ways: a touchdown (6 points) is scored when a player enters the end zone with the ball; an extra point (1 or 2 points) can be attempted after a touchdown; a field goal (3 points) is scored by kicking the ball through the opponent’s goalposts; and a safety (2 points) is awarded to the defensive team if the offensive team is tackled in their own end zone.

The game is played in four quarters, with teams switching between offense and defense throughout. American Football is known for its complex strategies, specialized player roles, and significant physical contact. It is a major part of American culture, with key events such as the Super Bowl capturing widespread attention.
