Football can be played either with a ball, made especially for the sport by using rubber, metal or plastic materials, or with the use of any other hard object. The object of the game is to score points by hitting the other team’s ball, or the “ball”, with it. Points are scored when the ball is touched by the player or any part of the body of the player, and the ball enters the goal area. Touching the ball with the hand, feet, head or any part of the limbs will also count as a point.
