Soccer

Soccer, also known as Football is a team sport of human origin. The game was considered to be one of the most popular games on Earth, and spread to other worlds as humanity joined the interstellar community.

In soccer, there are two teams with 11 players each playing on a rectangular grass field. Each team has a goal at the end of the field. The object of the game is to maneuver the ball into the opposing team's goal while trying to prevent the opposing team from doing the same. What's notable is that except for the goal keepers, players may not use their hands to maneuver the ball.

Over the centuries, soccer was a popular game for children. As a 13 year old, Worf led one of the local youth soccer teams on Gault. While playing against another team, there was an accident in which Worf and another boy named Mikel had a collision, which led to fatal head injuries for Mikel.
