HI Khaldoun83

Challenging has a number of different meanings. As an adjective, it means something that is difficult to do. For example; it's a challenging task for new Premier League teams to avoid relegation. In football, a challenge can also be a synonym for tackle. For example; a 50/50 challenge is a phrase you often hear. It means that two players have an equal chance of winning the ball. 

If you can tell me the sentence where you want to use the word 'challenging' I'll be able to help you more.

Hi Weiqing

'Challenge' is another word for an attempt to tackle. So you can have good challenges, successful challenges, poor challenges and dangerous challenges. If a challenge is dangerous, the referee may stop play and caution the player. You can also have a 50-50 challenge where two players attempt to get the ball and both have the same chance to win the challenge.

Thanks

Players sometimes dive to deceive referees so they can win a free kick or a penalty.
