Interception

In football (soccer and American football), an interception (INT) occurs when a defensive player successfully takes possession of the ball from an opponent, disrupting an attacking play. Interceptions are crucial for shifting momentum, preventing goals or touchdowns, and launching counterattacks.

In American football, an INT refers to a defensive player, typically a cornerback or safety, catching a pass intended for an offensive receiver, immediately stopping the opposing team's drive. Quarterbacks must be cautious to avoid interceptions, as they can lead to scoring opportunities for the defense.

In soccer, interceptions are key defensive actions where players cut off passes, regain possession, and transition into attack. A player with strong positioning, awareness, and anticipation excels in intercepting the ball to break down the opponent’s play
