Football
Touchdown team organization
Football names different sports depending on where you are.
In the United States, football is the gridiron game played with an oval ball, protective gear, and end zones—what most of the world calls American football.
Elsewhere, football typically means soccer, the sport played with a round ball and feet only.
In Australia, football may refer to Australian rules football or rugby.
The ball itself is also called a football.
