World's Best Sport's Tech & Venue Solutions

To begin with as an introduction; football is a tough sport that involves

two teams. Each team has in total of 11 players. These players compete

in order to have the possession of a spherical ball so that they can score a

goal for their teams. Football or soccer, as it is referred to sometimes, is

the most popular sport in the world today. The players are supposed to

move the ball with any body part except their hands or arms while they

are playing in the field. Just like hockey, only the goalkeeper is allowed to

use their hands and arms which is only permitted in their penalty area.

The motive behind is to ensure that the player’s team is able to score

more goals than their opponents. When the ball crosses the goal line

between goal posts entirely, it is considered as a goal. When both teams

have scored the same number of goals in the specified time period; the

game is said to have ended in a draw.   

The match is of a total duration of 3 hours or 90 minutes. This duration is

further divided into two equal halves of 45 minutes which are regarded as

the first half and second half respectively. There have been instances

where extra time has been played in order to decide the winner since

both the teams ended up with the same number of goals. this extra time

usually is of about 15 minutes.

If the result is still the same; replay or penalty kicks are provided to each

team. Each team has 5 penalties and usually, the winner gets decided

here once and for all. If not, then the scenario of sudden death occurs.

The first team that loses their penalty kick will be declared as the runner-

up and the opponent team as the winner.

Just like hockey, Soccer or Football, also requires you to wear some

specialized types of equipment in order to protect yourself from any

injury. These include blades, football boots, studs, shin pads amongst

others. Goal Keepers are permitted to have gloves on their hands. The

football kit comprises of shorts, socks and a t-shirt. These are provided by

the teams whereas the other training ware is to be procured by the player

themselves.

The pitch ranges from a 100 yards to 110 yards in length and around 70

yards to 80 yards in width. A goal comprises of two different goalposts

and a crossbar. These posts are about 8 yards apart and the above-

mentioned posts are as high as 8 feet. The game starts in the centre of

the pitch. This is the centre circle and this takes place after each half of

the game and even after every goal.

In order to understand soccer better, one has to have an idea about the

terminologies used while playing the game.

Kick-off

This is where each of half of the play starts and after every goal, it starts

at the centre circle.

Penalty

It is awarded for a foul which is committed in the opposing penalty area.

Red card

This card to awarded by the referee when there is an occurrence of a foul.

It is considered to be a serious breach of game rules. Once a red card is

shown to a player; they are to leave the field immediately and would not

be allowed to play further in the game for their team. It is important to

note that two yellow cards may also result in showing up a red card.

Yellow card

A yellow card is shown to indicate that even though the player breached

the rules of the game; the referee doesn’t consider the player’s behaviour

as serious or absolutely wrong for them to continue playing. You get

“booked” when you are shown a yellow card since the referee’s job profile

includes them to note down the player’s name in their book.

Football has been dominated by men for a long time, however, in the

current world situation; there has been a huge ideological change. More

and more girls and women are participating in football. We, at Sports

Management Centre, are pleased to see this change. We encourage more

and more children, especially females to come forward and play this

sport. No one should be stopped from enjoying a sport because they

belong to a certain category. We are providing our children with the best

infrastructure to learn this sport and become proficient in that skill. We

love seeing our children busting myths about women capabilities and are

proud to say that it is a result of both their and our efforts. We will

continue doing that and prove ourselves at every opportunity we get.
