American football, also known as Gridiron football, is a sport played with an oval shaped ball (gridiron_ball) by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end.

As the name suggests, American football is most popular in America where it is more commonly known as football.

The term "football" used to refer to American football can be confusing, as outside North America, "football" is more commonly used to refer to soccer (association football) or Australian rules football in the case of Australia.
