The aim of this paper is to show the problems of injuries in football and the methods of prevention and treatment of the resulting injuries. Although the dynamism and combativeness of football are responsible for its popularity, it is precisely because of them that various injuries occur during matches and training. Through the summary of various researches, this paper tries to indicate the amount of injuries during certain periods, the type of injuries, but also the body parts that are often affected by these injuries. It is assumed that the majority of injuries are related to the lower extremities due to the way the game is played. Preparation of soccer players through training should be focused on muscle groups related to optimal function of the lower extremities. The training of soccer players should include protocols that have a preventive role in order to reduce the rate of injuries. UEFA's research, which is presented at the end of the paper showed the actual state of injuries in certain football seasons, was made by comparing 25 teams where the presence of injuries, their manner of occurrence, place of occurrence, type of injuries and the consequences of that injury were monitored. The exposure of football players during training and matches was compared in order to find the best possible way of prevention.
