Football is a global sport, and its game rules are formulated by FIFA. The purpose of a football match is to kick the ball into the opponent's goal and score more points than the opponent, thus winning. In the competition, each team has 1 1 players, including a goalkeeper. The game is divided into two 45-minute halves, and the intermission time is 15 minutes. Now, let's learn about the basic rules and regulations of football matches.

Stadium and equipment

The football match is played on a rectangular court with a length of100-130m and a width of 50-100m. There is a center line in the center of the stadium and a goal at each end. The goal is 2.44 meters high and 7.32 meters wide. There is a central circle on the court with a diameter of 9. 15m, which is used for tee-off.

Players must wear football shoes, and the soles must be rubber or other suitable materials, and there must be no sharp parts. Players must also wear shorts and short-sleeved sweatshirts, as well as leg pads and socks.

Game start

Before the game starts, the captains of both sides will flip a coin to decide the kickoff party. When kicking off, the ball must be placed in the center circle and kicked by one player to the other half. Before kick-off, the player must stand outside the middle circle, and the opposing player must be at least 10 yards away from the ball outside the middle circle.

Goal and punishment

A goal is scored when the ball completely crosses the goal line and enters the goal. If a player fouls in the opponent's half-court, the referee will award a penalty. The penalty is made by one player in the penalty area, and other players must stand outside the penalty area. The penalty must be kicked directly to the goal, and other players are not allowed to touch the ball.

Foul and yellow/red card

In football matches, some fouls are forbidden, such as pushing, kicking and pulling. If a player fouls, the referee will award a free kick or penalty, and may also give a yellow card or a red card. A yellow card is a warning that if the same player fouls again, he will be shown a red card. A red card means that the player sent off will not be able to continue the game, and the team will continue to play without one player.

The game is over.

At the end of the game time, the referee will blow the whistle to indicate the end of the game. If the scores are the same, the game is a draw. If the scores are different, the one with the highest score wins. If the game is a knockout, it may be necessary to play overtime or penalty shootout to decide the outcome.
