 love all kinds of sports. But, I enjoy watching and playing football the most. I find this sport really interesting.

 In football, there are two teams, and in each team, there are 11 players. There is a big green grass in the middle of the ground. There is a football to kick off and start the game. Players wear jerseys with numbers on their backs. There are teams named Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc. In football, there are many tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, Champions League, etc. In the FIFA World Cup, there are many countries competing to win the cup. Some countries' names in the World Cup include France, the UK, etc. Football is known as soccer in some countries. Some famous players include Pelé from Brazil, Messi from Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal, and Mbappé from France, etc. There are goalkeepers to save goals, defenders to defend the ball, midfielders to pass the ball to forwards, and CDM (central defensive midfielder) to pass the ball and also defend. Forwards are also known as strikers; they move forward and shoot the ball. There are LW (left winger) and RW (right winger) who do the same work as forwards, but LW is on the left side, and RW is on the right side. Some famous players play in specific positions; for example, Messi plays in RW, CR7 plays in LW, and Mbappé plays as a forward. 

Football holds a special place in my heart!
