Well mate. The Word Interception is used in many sports and even Sports Video Games. Anywhere you name it.
Lets say the opponent has the ball in a Basketball game and you know he was about to pass it to his team mate. You predict his pass and quikly grab the ball in mid air from the pass. That is called an interception.
Extra Advice:
If your playing NFL and you drop the ball and someone else picks it up that's called fumble so it doesn't count as interception. Just fumble.

If a pass is "intercepted" than that means that a defending player got in the way of the ball and eirther took control of the ball himself or deflected it to someone on his team.
An intereption is when the ball is taken from the opposing side by catching the ball befor it reaches the intended person.
Interception is when the other side takes the ball from your team (so, the ball changes sides.)
Hope this helps
