Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Direct play of association football, gridiron football, or a clearly identified football code under recognizable match rules.

Include when

Assign Football when direct play of association football, gridiron football, or a clearly identified football code under recognizable match rules. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Football from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
