When Did Football Begin?
Exactly, when and where football began is difficult to say. In 200 B.C., Chinese people played a game which they called tsu-chu, meaning to hit with the feet (tsu) a ball of animal skin (chu).
In Japan there was a game called Kemari, with two teams each with eight players trying to kick a ball into an area marked out between two trees.
Even ancient Greeks played a game with a ball, called Episkyros which the Roman adopted to their requirements calling it Harpastrum. It was similar to football and Rugby and was played with a ball made of paper.
Then in Italy during the Renaissance, Florentine Football began to spread. This was played by 27 men each team.
But to find the origin of Football as we know it today, we need to more on to England in 1700. Here, at the famous Rugby School, a boy picked up a ball and ran with it.
After that, at Rugby, players were allowed to use both hands and feet to hit the ball and this resulted in Rugby Football.
At the same time, in other places as game of football developed, in which the ball could only be touched by the feet and this became soccer and football.
The First modern Football team was Founded in Cambridge, England in1846. By the beginning of 1863 and on 26th October 1863, the first Football Association was established in England.
