Football is thepopular game played between two 11-member teams on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. Each team tries to score points by moving the oval ball over the opponent's goal line for a touchdown (by carrying or passing the ball to a teammate) or by kicking it between the goalposts. A team must advance the ball 10 yards in four attempts, called downs. Defensive and offensive teams alternate positions on the field as the possession of the ball changes from side to side.
American Football evolved in the 19th century as a combination of rugby and soccer. The first intercollegiate Football match in the United States is usually credited to the game played in 1869 by Princeton University and Rutgers College at New Brunswick, N.J., but that game more resembled the kicking style of association Football (soccer) than modern Football; there were 25 players on a team, and the game was won by the number of goals scored rather than by touchdowns. In 1873 the first collegiate rules were standardized by Princeton, Yale, Columbia, and Rutgers, and soon afterward the distinct American version of Football began to develop.
In 1910 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) was formed to govern American intercollegiate competition. Postseason, or "bowl," games played between leading college teams, became popular and now include the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, Calif.), Orange Bowl (Miami), Sugar Bowl (New Orleans), Sun Bowl (El Paso, Texas), Cotton Bowl (Dallas, Texas), and Gator Bowl (Jacksonville, Fla.).
Professional Football began in the 1890s, but it was not until the rise of television after World War II that it became one of the dominant American sports. In 1922 the American Professional Football Association was reorganized as the National Football League (NFL), which remains the main force of the professional game. A rival league, the American Football League (AFL), was created in 1959, but an agreement in 1966 led to the merger of the two in 1970 under the NFL title. The NFL is now divided into an American and a National conference; the winners of the conferences compete for the Super Bowl championship.
