Having a Ball!Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It is an important

part of many cultures. Children in Brazil, Argentina, Spain,

England, Germany, Italy, and many other countries play soccer.

This sport is played with a ball and two nets. Players on one team

try to get the ball into the other team’s net without using their

hands. That is why soccer is called “football” in many places.

Having a Ball!

Make some noise!

People around the world love to watch soccer,

too! They gather at fields and stadiums to cheer

for their teams. Fans in South Africa like to

blow long, plastic horns at soccer games.

The horns are called vuvuzelas

[voo-voo-zel-uhs].

Soccer does not need a lot of equipment

and can be played just about anywhere.

Some people think the

vuvuzela sounds like the loud

trumpet call of an elephant!
