Literature review

The word football comes from the English word football which means ball of the feet.

Football - a sport in which 22 players divided into two teams strive to score a goal.
ball in the opponent's goal area, without hand intervention, during a match divided into
two halves of 45 minutes each.

Brief history

Considered the most popular sport in the world.

The earliest activity resembling modern football dates back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC in China.

In the late Middle Ages in the British Isles, various types of games similar to football emerged.
In the second half of the 17th century, the first major unifications of football occurred.
As time went by, new football associations emerged beyond the English ones already in 1880.

The peak of football at a global level motivated the creation of FIFA on May 21, 1904.
the development of this modality had its friction with World War I and World War II.

It is currently practiced not only by men but also by women since 1892.

Football rules

Since the time of its discovery, this modality has had rules, some of which have been improved and
international recognition. There are a total of 17 internationally recognized rules.

In 1863, the first rules of football association were written. It was in that year thatEbezener Corb Morley,
secretary-general of the English Federation, wrote the“FA Minute Book”, what is almost consensually the moment
founder of modern football. This work marks the moment when football and rugby began to take their paths
different paths, to the point that today they are two completely distinct modalities.

Argue with the referee or the assistants.

Rule 10: the goal

When a player kicks a ball towards their team's goal it isgoal againstwhat does it mean that the player scored a goal
by the opposing team (in favor of the opposing team). There is also the direct goal, where the player goes to the area and
kick the ball, and the indirect goal, where the player passes the ball to another, who scores.

Rule 11: the offside

Offside rule

The offside rule is better understood when we divide it into two parts: the offside position and the
marking of the irregularity.

Linda Cipriano Bié, 1st Year 2018


A player is in an offside position when four conditions are met:

This player is in the attacking field;


He is closer to the opponent's baseline than the ball itself.
He is closer to the opponent's baseline than the penultimate opponent - any
part of your body, trunk, head, or feet, except for the hands;
The teammate who directly passes you the ball is not taking a goal kick, a corner kick or
a throw-in.

However, the mere fact that a player is in an offside position does not imply the automatic signaling of
irregularity. The referee should only call an indirect free kick, stopping the game, at the moment the ball touches.
accidentally this player in an offside position, or at the moment when the ball is intended for him in a pass
directly, and only when in the opinion of the judge, one of the three conditions below is met:

The player in an offside position actively participates in the play: by receiving a pass or deflecting it.
the ball;
This player gains a direct advantage from the offside: by taking advantage of a rebound, if at the moment
the kick or header was advanced;
He directly hinders an opponent: by clearly obstructing their view, or by deceiving them with a feint.
of the body.

Rule 12: fouls and irregular conduct

If a foul is called, the referee's options are as follows:

Direct free kick

When a player delivers a 'sliding tackle' (a low blow in which the aggressor slides on the grass, with the
intention to kick the ball or the supporting leg of the player who has possession of the ball), or to apply a push,
a punch, a kick or any other type of aggression, if the referee believes that the player intended to
hurt the opponent.

Penalty

Será marcado toda vez que a falta ocorrer dentro da grande área.

Indirect free kick

It is always marked when a player exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct, such as hindering the progress of the game.

Disciplinary sanctions

member of the other team or with the referee. If the same player receives two yellow cards in the same match,
will automatically receive a red card and be expelled from the game; however, if the referee deems it necessary, they may apply
a red card without having previously shown a yellow card.

Regulates direct and indirect free kicks. A direct free kick occurs when the player is allowed to shoot
in any direction without the help of another player. In the case of an indirect free kick, it is necessary that another
the player touches the ball for it to be considered in play. In both cases, the ball must be stationary to
that the referee authorizes the kick, the opposing players must be at least 9.15 m from the ball and the kick
it must be done at the location where the infraction occurred.

The penalty is applied in most types of football, such as field football, futsal, indoor football,
football society, etc. The penalty that occurred during the match can be taken in two touches, as long as the ball is
roll forward and the second player to touch it is outside the area at the time of the kick. In the case of
decision of result by penalties that is not allowed.

The defending goalkeeper may not use strategies aimed at disrupting the kicker in order to
to gain psychological advantages during a penalty shootout.

What few people know is that when the penalty kick was introduced in 1891, the ball could be kicked from
any point 11 meters from the goal.

Rule 13: direct free kick

Both for indirect free kicks and for direct free kicks, the ball must be stationary when the kick is taken and the

associations, groups of friends and many others.
