Association Football

A team sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball and it is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The objective is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal.

## Positions

### Forward

* **Center Forward:**
* **Second Striker:**
* **Winger:**

### Midfielder

Midfielders are players whose position of play is midway between the attacking forwards and the defenders. Their main duties are to maintain possession of the ball, taking the ball from defenders and feeding it to the strikers, as well as dispossessing opponent players. Often there is at least one midfielder with a marked task of breaking up opposition's attacks while the rest are more adept to creating goals or have equal responsibilities between attack and defense. Midfielders can cover many areas of a pitch, as at times they can be called back into defense or required to attack with the strikers. They are often the players that initiate attacking play for a team.

### Defender

Defenders play behind the midfielders and their primary responsibility is to provide support to the team and to prevent the opposition from scoring the goal. They usually remain in the half of the field that contains the goal they are defending. Taller defenders will move forward to the opposing team's penalty box when their team takes corner kicks or free kicks, where scoring with one's head is a possibility.

### Goalkeeper

Goalkeeper is the most defensive position in football and their main job is to stop the other team from scoring by catching, palming or punching the ball from shots, headers and crosses. Unlike their teammates, goalkeepers typically remain in and around their own penalty area for most of the game. As a result, goalkeepers have a better view of the pitch and often give advice to their defense when the other team is on the attack or during set pieces.
