Citadel Football

Citadel football is a team sport played on the MMORPG RuneScape by two teams of 3 to 5 players on a rectangular field. It originated in July 2011 when [http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Update:Clan_Citadels_are_Here! Jagex released Clan Citadels] as part of a large update to the clan system, and creative founders saw a way to use this feature to host their sport.

In Citadel Football, points are scored by carrying the ball beyond the opposing team's goal line; this is called a goal and is the primary method of scoring. The opposing team attempts to stop the attacking side scoring points by tackling the player carrying the ball. In the past, points could also be scored by scoring field goals, which could be attempted at any time provided the offensive team was in passing range of the goal.

Citadel Football is a growing sport in RuneScape and finds popularity as an inter-clan event, but its growth has suffered from the game's ageing player base and experience-oriented drive in recent years.
