Footing has been used for fun and exercise since prehistoric times. It is believed that ancient Chinese athletes performed exercises while playing ball games such as jiankang (or "kickball") and weiqi (or "chess").
The first known written reference to football comes from England in 1823. It was called "association football." The word "football" became popular after many variations of it were developed in England. In 1875, an association named the Football Association was formed to regulate soccer matches. In 1913, this body changed its name to the present-day FA.
Gaelic football, gambling, geocaching, goal ball, go karting, golf, greyhound racing, gridiron (American football), and gymnastics are all examples of sports.
Football
Association football (also known as soccer in North America and Oceania); gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rules football; rugby football (either rugby union or rugby league); and Gaelic football are all sports that are commonly referred to as football.
In England, Ireland, and Scotland, people call all forms of the game "football". In North America, only association football is called "football" outside of these countries. However, in those regions football usually refers to association football rather than the other forms of the game.
The oldest evidence of ball games being played in Europe comes from Russia where a 9500-year-old ball made from animal skin was found. The first evidence of a ball being used in an international match comes from China where an 888 B.C. leather ball was used in a game between Chinese teams using a kicking technique similar to modern handball.
The modern game of football is believed to have evolved in England from various other games that were popular there. It is based on a kick-and-rush style of play that originated with a series of short passes used by English players to move the ball downfield. The word "soccer" is derived from the English term for this type of play, which was popular among British immigrants in North America: "association football."
Football has become popular throughout the world.
