There are some important similarities between basketball and football. First of all, they are team sports. The basketball team consists of five players and the football team consists of eleven players. In either sport you can replace the athlete with a substitute athlete when injured or exhausted. Another similarity between them is that they are all using the ball, but these are not exactly the same. The ball is round and light, it is rather hard, made of synthetic material. It is usually black and white. By contrast, basketball is usually not that light, it is made of hard rubber. It is usually reddish brown
Basketball and football are regarded as team sports. Several people are going to participate in the competition at the same time. The football team only plays eleven players at once, but the basketball team can play with five players and courts at once.

According to the regulations, football and basketball have very different competition styles. Football is a full touch sports, there are tackle and physical confrontation, and conflict in every game. Basketball is considered a non-contact sports, depending on the rules, physical contact at basketball is a violation and may cause a foul.
