Today’s world gets excited about a particular sport that captures the fancy of sports fans everywhere. The game or sport is soccer. The sheer ecstasy, euphoria and adrenaline that soccer tournaments bring to players and spectators alike is unique and unmatched. This sport too has its roots in history and there has been enough evidence to suggest that our ancestors also engaged in this action packed form of sport in their own maverick way.

The term soccer basically symbolizes a game that involves kicking and maneuvering the ball across a playing field using only the legs and then attempting to score by putting the ball into the opposition’s net called a goal. Soccer itself represents several different types of team sports such as rugby union, soccer, American football, Canadian football, etc. But the most commonly adhered form is football or soccer. This game involves two teams made up of either 11 or 18 players depending on variations in format competing on a clearly defined field or area. The objective of both teams is to score goals using cohesive play tactics to pass the ball into the goal area or over a line. The opposing team has to defend their goal posts to prevent the other team from scoring. The ball used in the game has also evolved over the years. Earlier versions were made from animal skins, and sometimes comprised of inflatable bladders made from pig or other animal bladders.

Other advances led to the discontinuation of animal bladders and led to covering the ball in leather sleeves to keep it in shape and inflatable rubber bladders were also included in soccer balls. The game is not limited to any sexual discrimination and there are men’s and women’s teams from all over the world who throw themselves into the sport with equal enthusiasm. Clubs that play soccer tournaments are scattered across regions of countries and spread across continents.

Of all the soccer or football leagues that exist in the world, the English Premier League (EPL), Spanish League, and German Bundesliga are quite famous among soccer fans. With top clubs in these leagues embarking on soccer tours and participating in various soccer tournaments, soccer sponsors are treated to a sumptuous treat with the delight of seeing their favorite players and clubs in action. The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) is the governing body of football or soccer and oversees all matters related to the game. The soccer world cup involving the major soccer nations takes place once every four years, with the latest edition taking place in South Africa.
