축구

축구 (pronounced "chukgu") is the Korean term for "soccer," which is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The primary objective of the game is to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team's net, utilizing any part of the body except the hands and arms, which are only permitted for the goalkeeper within the penalty area. The game is played on a rectangular field, typically with grass or artificial turf, and is governed by a specific set of rules known as the Laws of the Game. Soccer is one of the most popular sports globally, known for its simplicity, widespread appeal, and the FIFA World Cup, which is the sport's premier international tournament. In different cultures and regions, soccer can have various forms and popularity levels but generally refers to the same fundamental game.
