Football Comprehension Worksheet

Football players on a pitch

📖 Read the passage carefully

Football: The Beautiful Game

Football is the most popular sport in the world. It is played by two teams of eleven players on a large grass pitch. The aim is to score goals by kicking the ball into the opponent's goal. Players can use any part of their body except their hands and arms - only the goalkeeper is allowed to handle the ball, and only within their penalty area.

A football match lasts for 90 minutes, split into two halves of 45 minutes each. There is a 15-minute break called half-time between the two halves. The team that scores the most goals wins the match. If both teams score the same number of goals, the match is called a draw.

Football requires teamwork, fitness, and skill. Players must be able to run for long periods, pass accurately to their teammates, and think quickly to make good decisions. The most famous football tournament is the FIFA World Cup, which takes place every four years and brings together the best national teams from around the globe.
