Barbara, 

Football is correct, although if it is predominantly called soccer in your region, that is also a correct option. I still tend to call it soccer, but I am not a fan !

However ‘ football ‘ is more widely used internationally, including in the UK - where the Premier League site refers to football : 

“ The Premier League is all about the football 

Football drives everything the Premier League does. Watching the best players and thrilling football generates local and global interest, with millions of fans across the country and billions around the world following the most-watched football league. “

The international regulatory body is FIFA - the Fédération Internationale de Football Association in French, officially translated as the International Federation of Association Football in English and notes the following description on its English language website 

FIFAhttps://www.fifa.com

“ The home of football across the globe, FIFA bring you the very latest tournament news, player exclusives and live match content all in one place. “
