History of association football
Association football, more commonly known as
football or soccer, is rooted in medieval ball
games and English public school games. The
modern game of association football originated
with mid-nineteenth century efforts among
local football clubs to standardize the varying
sets of rules, culminating in the formation of
The Football Association in London, England in
1863. The rules drafted by the association
allowed clubs to play each other without
dispute and which specifically banned the
handling of the ball (except by goalkeepers)
and hacking during open field play. After the
fifth meeting of the association, a schism
emerged between association football and the
rules played by the Rugby school, later to be
called rugby football. Football has been an
Olympic sport ever since the second modern
Summer Olympic Games in 1900. Wikipedia
