Football is a ball game played by two teams, each of 11 players. The object of the game is to
put the ball into the opponents' goal, and the winning team is the one that scores the greater number of
goals.
The field is rectangular and must be 50-100yd wide and 100-130yd long. At either end there is a
goal area enclosed in the larger penalty area. The posts and crossbar of the goals must be of equal width
and of the same width as the goal line.
The touchlines and the goal lines are part of the playing area. At each corner of the field is a
flag on a post that is at least 5ft high and must not have a pointed top. Flags on either side of the
center line are optional, but must be set back at least 1 yd from the touchline.
Officials. A referee (a) controls
the game and is assisted by two linesmen. (b) The referee: acts as timekeeper and keeps a record of
the game; enforces the laws; stops the game at injuries, infringements, etc. and restart it appropriately;
cautions or sends off offenders; may end the game because of bad weather, interference by spectators, etc.
The linemen, one on each touchline, indicate when the ball is out of play, and which side has the right to
put the ball into play again with a throw in, corner kick, or goal kick. They raised their flags to
indicate any infringement, and the referee may choose whether or not act on this signal.
The ball is made of leather or other approved material. At the start of a game it must weigh 14-16
oz, and should be inflated to a pressure of 15lb per square inch. The ball may not be changed during a game
without the referee's permission.
