Too many to count really. There are many professional clubs. If you count Serie A, Serie B, ... that's just Italy. Then, there is the Premiership with A, B division teams. Then, the Bundesliga with 6 divisions (or more). And I haven't even mentioned or addressed teams in the US, Argentina, Brazil, other European countries, the K-league, Australia, etc. So as you can see, there are many teams, and therefore many players. There isn't even necessarily records online or readily obtainable of all these professional clubs. I do think therefore that there are too many professional soccer players in the world. I mean football is popular internationally, so if I'd have to narrow it down, as a joke, I'd say there are slightly less than 6 billion soccer players who play professionally...haha.

11 is the max, one of which MUST be the goal keeper.\n\nFor youth matches, especially the real young groups smaller sides are used.  For example, in the state of Georgia, U12 play with 8, U10 play with 6 and U8 and U6 play with 4.

There is no way anyone can count them all. Every country has multiple professional leagues with many teams. Then you have 200 something countries all over the world. I would guess an average of 2 professional leagues per country with an average of 15 teams with around 150 countries with leagues gives you... 4500 professional clubs?

Everyone else is right, but the 11 players (or 22, depending on how you mean the question) can be reduced if a player receives a red card (or ejection).  If 2 players have been ejected, then there are only 20 rather than 22 for the rest of the game.

there are soccer being contested in the Olympics, currently 16 teams will be played in the Olympics.\n\nqualification will be similar to the World Cup where respective confederations will be allocated their berth, host nation will get the automatic berth.\n\nthe Olympic soccer event is only restricted to under 23-squad but 3 player over 23 can be included in the squad.\n\nARGENTINA won the last summer Olympics soccer final in 2004 beating PARAGUAY in the final. Ironically, this is ARGENTINA's 1st first gold medal & PARAGUAY's first silver medal in the competition.\n\nBRAZIL may have won the World Cup 5 times but they have yet to win the elusive gold medal in Olympics soccer event. they have only won silver medal in 1988 losing to Soviet Union.

7 players per team in the game and many alternates that you can switch in and out. i'm not really sure how many alternates you can have but i think maybe up to 14 or something.

That is one heck of a question.  There are 11 players on each team, 1 Goalkeeper and 11 outfield.  They either play defence, midfield or attack.  The basic shape of a soccer team should be 4-4-2 that's 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 attackers but nowadays there are a lot of strange formations professional teams use to utilize the strengths of their player.  These include 5-3-2, 3-5-2 and 4-3-3.  Sometimes the 4-3-3 is used when a team is trailing and replaces a midfielder with another attacker and becomes more direct in their play.\nRules:\n    The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team.  To score a goal you must get the ball past the opposing goalkeeper and fully across the goal line.  To stop you, the goalkeeper is the only player that can legally use his or her hands to touch the ball and they may only do this inside the 18 yd box, if it is done outside it is a foul.  \n    Generally the feet and head are used to play the ball but in the past i have personally scored with my knee, chest and even my butt.  \nFouls are commited when a player handles the ball or makes unfair contact with an opposing player.  When a foul is committed a free-kick is given to the fouled team.  If the foul occurs inside the 18 box and is by the defending team it is a penalty kick.  A penalty kick is taken from the spot 12 yds from the goal and the goal keeper and the taker are the only people within the 18 yd box.  Challenges that are shoulder to shoulder between to players running together for the ball are allowed.  Challenges from behind were recently completely outlawed as the caused too many injuries.  If a player fouls a lot or makes a dangerous challenge they can receive a yellow card.  If you receive two yellow cards that is equal to one red card and you are dismissed from the field and cannot return or be replaced.  Red cards can be issued without a yellow being issued if a player throws a punch or stops a clear goal scoring opportunity illegally.\n    If the ball leaves the field to the side it is a throw in to the opposing side of the team that touched it last.  The throw must be two handed and from behind the head to be legal.  \n    If the ball leaves the field between the goal post and the corner of the field it is a goal kick if the attacking team touched it last and a corner kick if the defending team touched it last.  A corner kick must be taken from the quarter circle next the corner flag.\n    The offside rule and the backpass rule were introduced and modified in the 80's and 90'sto increase fairness.\n    The offside rule says that when the ball is played up the field by the attacking team, when an attacker is in the opposing teams half he must have an outfield player between him and the goal at the exact point the ball is played.  This rule was introduced to stop attackers just hanging around the goal and making the game very basic.\n    The backpass rule says that if a defender intentionally plays the ball back to his goalkeeper with his feet, the goalkeeper cannot then pick it up and must use his head or feet to get rid of the back.  This was introduced in the 80's because a lot of teams would keep playing the ball back to the goalkeeper so he could pick it up and waste time when their team was winning.  \n    I think that's all i've got.  I hope i didn't miss anything.
