HISTORY OF FOOTBALL
The origin of football or soccer can be found in every corner of geography and history. The Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Ancient Greek, Persian, Viking, and many more played a ball game long previous to our era. The Chinese played "football" games date as far back as 3000 years ago. The Ancient Greeks and the Roman used football games to sharpen warriors for battle. In south and Central America a game called "Tlatchi" once flourished.
But it was in England that soccer or football really begins to take shape. It all started in 1863 in England, when two football associations (association football and rugby football) come apart off on their different course. Therefore, the first Football Association was founded in England.On October 1963, eleven London clubs and schools sent their council to the Freemason's Tavern. These council were intent on expounding the muddle by establishing a set of basic rules, acceptable to all parties, to oversee the matches played amongst them. This meeting marked the birth of The Football Association. The eternal dispute concerning shin-kicking, tripping and carrying the ball was discussed thoroughly at this and one by one meetings until in the end on 8 December the die-hard exponents of the Rugby style took their final leave. They were in the marginal anyway. They wanted no part in a game that forbade graceful, shin-kicking and carrying the ball. A stage had been reached where the morals were no longer compatible. On 8 December 1863, football and rugby lastly split. Their partition became completely irreconcilable six years hence when a provision was included in the football rules forbidding any handling of the ball (not only carrying it).
