American Football

American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States and Canada, characterized by two teams of eleven players each competing to advance an oval-shaped ball into the opposing team’s end zone to score points. The game is played on a rectangular field with marked lines and is known for its unique combination of strategy, physicality, and skill.

The primary objective is to score a touchdown, which is worth six points, by either carrying the ball into the end zone or catching a pass there. After a touchdown, the scoring team can attempt an extra point or a two-point conversion. Additionally, points can be scored through field goals, worth three points, or safety, worth two points.

American Football is governed by various leagues, with the National Football League (NFL) being the most prominent. The game is known for its structured plays, formations, and a distinct set of rules that govern how the game is played, including downs, yardage, and penalties. It is often celebrated for its cultural significance in American society, particularly evident during events like the Super Bowl.
