Am from Nigeria, and here in Nigeria our national sports is football(soccer ). Football is a game played between two teams of eleven players each, on a rectangular field in an attempt of scoring a goal. The objective of the game is to score goals by any means of getting the
ball into the opponent net, using any part of the body except the hands and arms

( Only the goalkeeper is permitted to use hand but within the sixteen and eighteen box.)
The game is played with a spherical ball in which the players must use a combination of skills and teamwork strategies to outcome their opponents.

Football game is is consist of two halves, each lasting for 45 minutes, with additional time added for stoppages. The game is known for its fast pace, physicality and excitement. The players must use their feet, chest or head to control and pass the ball, meanwhile goalkeepers are tasked to prevent the opponent team from scoring.

Football game is very popular in Nigeria, with rich football history and the passionate fans base. Our Nigeria national team, known as the SUPER EAGLES, as achieved success on the international stage, including wining the African cup of nations many times. To be honest, football plays a significant role in Nigeria cultures and is the source of national pride and unity.

Words cannot express or describe the feelings we get from watching football matches, either by staying at home watching our favorite team play on TV or by participating in some street football. I enjoy watching and playing football games in many reasons. I appreciate the athleticism and skills of the players, I like the strategic elements of the game, the excitement and the intensity of the competition .I love seeing the way football brings people together and creat a sense of community.

Additionally, I find the unpredictable of the outcome to be thrilling which keeps me on the adge of my seat until the final whistle. Above all , I find football game to be entertaining and the most enjoyable sport to watch.

Yes back then, I remember playing in YOUNG STARS ACADEMY. We played a crucial match against FUTURE HOPE ACADEMY, where we were down by 6 points with less than ten minutes left in the fourth quarter. I was the quarterback and I had to lead my team down the field to score a touchdown that tie the game.

The pressure was really intensive but I was able to calm myself and my teammates not to lose focus. With just just about five minutes left, I threw a perfect pass to our wide receiver in the end zone for the game tying touchdown. We went on winning in overtime, and it was really one of my best memorable moments in my football career.

Thanks so much for your precious time.
