What term is used to mean the game of American football?


I see terms for soccer and football and they seem closely related. What is the
term used to clearly indicate American football? National/American Football
League football. Thank you for your time in answering this question.




From my experience, サッカー is almost exclusively used to refer to the one you
use your foot for most of the time, and アメフト for the handegg version.

As some fun examples of usage, you might want to check [NFL Japan's
site](https://nfljapan.com/guide/about) or read some of Murata Yusuke's
[Eyeshield
