Soccer Match
A typical soccer match consists of two 45-minutes halves. Each team has 11 players including a goalkeeper. The objective of the match is to score more goals than the opposition side. The team with the maximum number of goals is declared the winner of the match.
In PLAYINGA, we have kept very minimal restrictions. For a team sport, such as football, there is a minimum requirement of 2 players per team.
