Who is a "wing"?

A wing is a player in sports like soccer or rugby who plays near the sides of the field. Their role is to help score goals, create plays by passing to teammates, and support the defense when needed. Wings are often fast and skilled at handling the ball or puck, making runs along the sides, and taking shots at the goal. They also work with teammates to move the ball or puck forward and are essential in both attacking and defending during the game.
