In football it is worth 3 points. In Basketball it is worth 2 points.
3 points. But a drop kick (which is similar to a field goal) is worth 2 points. A drop kick is where you drop the ball on the ground and let it bounce up in the air then kick it through the goal posts. This is very difficult to do and is very rarely tried in the nfl.
When football adopted a numerical scoring system in 1883, a field goal counted for 5 points. It was reduced to 4 points in 1904 and 3 points in 1909.
In US Football, 3 points are awarded for a Field Goal.
A field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights at the end of the field) is worth 3 points in American football. There is no "point after" attempt for a field goal. In contrast, a touchdown (carrying the ball past the goal line) is worth 6 points and allows an attempt for an additional point after touchdown, which closely resembles a field goal.

In European football, then yes, one goal is one point. In American football, a touch down is worth 6 points. A field goal is worth 3 points A safety is worth 2 points. Hope this helps!!
There is no such thing as a five point feld goal in College Football. Nor in Professional Football or Canadien Football. There are/were instances of four point field goals: * In Arena Football, all drop kicked field goals are worth 4 points * NFL Europa (noe defunct) experimented with a four point field goal. The FG was worth 4 points if it was sucessfully completed and 50 yards or longer * The newly formed USFL (play will begin in 2009 or 2010, maybe) will have four point FG's, provided they are sucessfully compleyed kicks of 55 yards or longer Field goals counted for 5 points between 1897 and 1903 and for 4 points from 1904 to 1908. They've been worth 3 points ever since 1909.
A touchdown is worth six points in American football.

The offense in football try's to run plays and gain yards to make it all the way down the field to score points to win the game. At the end of the game if you have more points then your opponent you win the game. The main way is to get a touchdown by making it in the endzone for 6 points plus the extra point which is 1 or you can settle for a field goal worth 3 points.
