  • Move the object ("football") to the position of the subject in the passive sentence.

  • Add the verb "to be" in the appropriate tense. In this case, we will use "is" because the active sentence is in the present tense.

  • Add the past participle form of the main verb "like." The past participle form of "like" is "liked."

  • Include the preposition "by" to indicate the doer of the action. In this case, the doer of the action is not specified, so it can be omitted.

Thus, the most appropriate passive form of the given sentence is:
