Soccer

Soccer, also known as football, was a Human sport originating on Earth in England in which two teams of 11 players tried to drive a ball into the others net by using any body part except the arms or hands. The only player who was allowed to touch or move the ball with their arms or hands was the goalkeeper, who protected the net. He or she could only do so within the confines of their own team's penalty area.

Lee, a 21st century Sanctuary District official, preferred soccer to baseball and tennis. 

In 2152, the English football team qualified for the World Cup championships. Jonathan Archer shared this information with Malcolm Reed in an attempt to start a conversation with him. Reed, however, did not follow the sport. 

In 2332, eight-year old Beverly Crusher had her first crush on a eleven-year old soccer player named Stefan, which led to her having fantasies about having children, a career, and a happy life. 

In 2353, when Worf was thirteen, he was captain of his school soccer team at Gault colony. The team made it to the championships that year. Near the end of the second half, with the score tied, Worf's team got a corner kick. Worf and one of his opponents, Mikel, both leaped up to head a high-flying ball. Worf successfully made the goal, however, their heads collided in the process. Mikel's neck was broken and he died the following day. This incident scarred Worf for the rest of his life, showing him that in order to live among Humans he would always have to restrain his emotions and Klingon personality. 

One of the most popular soccer players of the mid-24th century was Golanga, until he had to have his knee replaced by a bio-implant in 2366. In response to a question from Vinod about soccer scores for 2370, Benjamin Sisko noted that "he wasn't the same after that.". 

Sam Lavelle kept a soccer ball in his quarters aboard the Enterprise-D in 2370.
