Football can mean different things depending on location, different sports are referred to as football in different parts of the world. The most popular and globally recognized version is association football, which most people worldwide simply call football. But in countries like the USA, Canada, South Africa, and Australia, this sport is usually referred to as "soccer". The reason for this is that in those areas, different kinds of football (like American football, rugby, and Australian rules football) are the more popular ones, so those people call them "football". Therefore, the term "soccer" is used there to refer to the particular version of the sport played with a round ball and mostly with the feet so as not to confuse the audience with other types of football. Whatever the name, football or soccer, it doesn't matter, the game is still loved and played by millions of people of all ages across the globe.
