Soccer is played worldwide by millions of people of all ages. Leagues are established across continents, with the most notable in England, Germany, and Spain. The basics of soccer include two 45-minute halves played by 11 players per side, with the objective being to score more goals than the opposing team. While more popular globally than in the United States, soccer is growing in popularity in the U.S. through leagues like Major League Soccer. Major international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup are held regularly.
