Sports History - The Start of Football

in history •  4 years ago 

Football, or soccer in America, is a wonderful game played by all around the world. The international spirit in this game is phenomenal and it's hard to not want to watch or take part in a game with friends.

Football's emergence was a progressive iteration of thousands of years involving spherical objects and goals. China is home to the first known ball game, dating back between the 2nd or 3rd century BC. The game was named Cuju, having players kick a ball into a net, no hands allowed!

There is an degree of uncertainty of the creation of the modern version of football. The romans may have influenced the British people but the game we known and love today came from England, starting around the 12th century.
