HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL?

Football can be played anywhere and with little equipment, however the rules of the game called Laws of Football must be respected .
Terrain de football
The football field
This sport is played on a rectangular court that measures between 90 and 120 meters long, and 45 and 90 meters wide. Its surface is most often natural grass.
It is delimited by drawn lines: the two longest lines are the touch lines and the two shortest are the goal lines. The two goals are placed in the center of each end line. 
Duration of a football match
A match is played in two 45-minute halves, separated by a 15-minute break. If at the end of these two halves the teams are tied, they then go into extra time.
Number of players in a football team 
Two teams of 11 players including a goalkeeper (and three substitutes) compete around a round ball. Players cannot touch the ball with their hands or arms. They wear the number on their jersey that corresponds to their role on the pitch.
Referees 
A central referee directs the match. He is assisted by two or three touch judges or assistant referees who signal offsides and off-lines with a flag.

The goal of a football match
Each team must send the ball as many times as possible into the opposing team's goal. Each goal is worth a point. The winning team is therefore the one that has scored the most goals against the downpour team.
