Editing Football (section)

=== Format and Rules ===
Football is played between two teams of '''11 players''' on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, with a goal at each end. The objective is to score goals by getting the ball into the opposing team's net.

Key rules include:

* '''Match Duration''': A standard match lasts '''90 minutes''', divided into two halves of '''45 minutes''' each, with a 15-minute halftime interval.
* '''Offside Rule''': A player is considered offside if they are closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last opponent when the ball is played to them.
* '''Fouls and Free Kicks''': Players are penalized for committing fouls, leading to free kicks or penalty kicks, depending on the severity and location of the infraction.
