QUES: Association football is played in accordance with a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game. The game is played using a spherical ball of 68.569.5 cm (27.027.4 in) circumference, known as the football (or soccer ball). Two teams of eleven players each compete to get the ball into the other team's goal (between the posts and under the bar), thereby scoring a goal.
