Abstract

This paper deals with game and football as a philosophical problem.
The purpose is to read the football game with ontological key.
The first part talks about the game as a phenomenon of human
existence which is an integral part of human ontological structure,
one of the fundamental determinants that define him/her, the form
in which life lives itself. From its very beginnings philosophy has
dealt with the game as a specific human activity inseparable from
human existence. There certainly belong games with the ball and
therefore, in the second part, we present a brief historical overview
and development of game with a special emphasis on football. Although
football is seen as a global phenomenon and easy to understand,
perceived in its deeper analysis it opens up many questions
which are the result of different approaches and looks at a unique
event; so the third part of this paper is dedicated to the ontological
structure of football, its key features, attractions, uncertainty and
accessibility to everyone, pushing it to the top of popularity and
making it the most important secondary thing in the world. In this
part ontology helps in describing and understanding the football
game itself, which has become the metaphor of our life.
