Today, there are many popular sports around the world, which have millions of fans. Football is one of these sports, which has been played since ancient times. I am a big fan of this sport, and I love watching its matches. Football teaches hard work and discipline. In this essay, I will talk about football and what makes it so popular.
Football is not a new sport. People in many civilizations have known and played it. Such as the Chinese civilization, the Greek civilization, and Ancient Egypt. However, the laws of this sport as we know it today originated from England. Football is one of the sports that is played in teams. The players use a round ball. During the match, they try to get the ball and prevent the other team from taking it and shooting it in their goal. In football games, two teams play against each other. Each team consists of 11 players. Football teams wear uniforms that vary in color and design. Also, these uniforms have the players' names, their numbers, and the club's crest or country's flag. Football is a sport that people love and watch despite the differences between them. It is loved by young or adult, and by rich or poor. People everywhere love football. For this reason, each country has a national football team. The national team represents its country in matches between other national teams, and matches abroad. When a national team wins, all the people in the country it represents feel proud and happy.
Because football is one of the most popular sports in the world, important events are held for this sport. Such as: Africa Cup of Nations, UEFA Cup, and AFC Asian Cup. In addition to that, the FIFA World Cup is the most famous football tournament in the world. It is held once every four years. Teams from all over the world compete in the FIFA World Cup to win the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
