American Football

American Football is a team sport primarily played in the United States, where two teams compete to advance an oval-shaped ball into the opposing team’s end zone to score points. The game is played on a rectangular field marked with yard lines, and each team has four attempts (downs) to move the ball at least ten yards. The main objective is to score touchdowns, worth six points, by carrying the ball into the end zone or catching it there, followed by an opportunity for an extra point or a two-point conversion. Field goals can also be scored for three points. The game involves a combination of physical strength, strategy, and skill, with players designated into offensive, defensive, and special teams. The sport is characterized by its unique rules, such as the forward pass and the set play formations, which differentiate it from other forms of football globally. American Football is immensely popular in the U.S., with the National Football League (NFL) being the premier professional league and the Super Bowl being one of the most-watched sporting events worldwide.
