football

Football is a sport in which two teams of eleven players compete to score goals in the opposing goal. Players mainly use their feet to move the ball, although the head and other parts of the body can also be used, except for the hands and arms, which are restricted to goalkeepers. The aim is to score more goals than the opposing team within the 90-minute regulation time. Football is the most popular sport in the world, played in practically every country, with high-profile events such as the World Cup and the Champions League.

What is football?

My career

At the age of 6, I joined the academy of a local club, GRC Aldão, where I developed as a player and where I still play today (7 years ago). The event that most marked me, and the most recent, was winning the Braga district title in the 23/24 season in the children's category.

Andrea Pirlo

‘Football is an art and the players are artists. Every movement is thought out, every move is planned. It's more than just a game’

Zlatan Ibrahimović

‘Football is a school of life. It teaches respect, teamwork and how to deal with victory and defeat’

In this video Cristiano Ronaldo talks with Rio Ferdinand about the sensations he experiences in football and shows that it's not what everyone thinks.
