Soccer
A Brief History:

Soccer is probably the most popular sport in the world. Two teams of 11 players attempt to guide an inflated ball into goal cages at opposite ends of a playing field.

Soccer is unique because of its restriction on the use of the hands; only the goalkeeper may handle the ball, and then only within a limited area. The other 10 players must advance the ball using primarily their feet, although a proficient soccer player can use almost every part of the body--including the head--to control the ball. The continuous action and fast pace of soccer have made it a major spectator sport throughout the world, and for the same reasons it has attracted millions of players.

The rules of soccer are relatively simple, and little equipment is required. Players wear shirts, shorts, cleated shoes, and sometimes shin guards tucked inside their socks. The length of the field may be 100-130 yd (91.4-118.9 m), and the width, 50-100 yd (45.7-91.4 m); the field must always be longer than it is wide.
