There are acually a surprising amount of mathematics in football.

Here are the 3 best examples I could think of:

Trajectories/vectors-When thrown or kicked, vector analysis coupled with Newton's laws of trajectories explain the basics of where the football will land.

Differential Equations-Explain the flight of the football based on its airodynamics and how it is thrown.

Statistics/Probability-Explain why you may choose one play over another based on how the other team has reacted in the past, or it is overall.
