This Han Dynasty forebear of football was called Tsu' Chu and it
consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an
opening,
measuring only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long
bamboo
canes. According to one variation of this exercise, the player was not
permitted to aim at his target unimpeded, but had to use his feet, chest,
back and shoulders while trying to withstand the attacks of his
opponents.
Use of the hands was not permitted. Another form of the game, also
originating from the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which began
some 500-600 years later and is still played today. This is a sport lacking
the competitive element of Tsu' Chu with no struggle for possession
involved. Standing in a circle, the players had to pass the ball to each
other, in a relatively small space, trying not to let it touch the ground.
The Greek 'Episkyros' - of which few concrete details survive - was
much
livelier, as was the Roman 'Harpastum'. The latter was played out with
a
smaller ball by two teams on a rectangular field marked by boundary
lines and a centre line. The objective was to get the ball over the
opposition's boundary lines and as players passed it between
themselves, trickery was the order of the day. The game remained
popular for 700-800 years, but, although the Romans took it to Britain
with them, the use of feet was so small as to scarcely be of
consequence.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Ball in and out of Play: The soccer ball is out of bounds when it
has crossed the goal line or touchline whether on the ground or in air.
If it rebounds off the referee, an assistant referee, a goal post,
crossbar, or corner flag post and remains inside the field, then it is still
in play.
Method of scoring: A goal is scored in football if the ball crosses
the goal line between the two goalposts and under the crossbar, as
long as no violation of the rules has taken place. The side that scores
the most goals wins. If both teams have the same number of goals at
the end of the match, it is considered a draw even if neither of them
scored a goal.
Offside: A player is in offside position if there are fewer than two
defenders (including the goalie) between him and the goal line. A
violation of the offside rule in football occurs if he is in that position
and the ball is played to him. A free kick is awarded to the opposition if
a player is caught offside.
Fouls and misconducts: The following are the most common fouls
in football: kicking, tripping, pushing, or charging another player
recklessly; striking or attempting to strike an opponent or any member
of the opposing side. A foul is called if a player: makes a tackle but hits
the player before the ball; deliberately handles the ball (except the
goalkeeper in his proper area); or if he uses excessive force in
defending an opponent.
Free kicks: A restarts a play after a foul or rule infringement is
committed and is usually taken from the spot where the violation was
committed. A free-kick can either be “direct”, in which a kicker may
score directly, or “indirect”, in which another player must touch the ball
before a goal can be scored.
Penalty kick: A penalty kick in football is awarded if a defender
commits a foul inside its own penalty area. The kick is taken from the
penalty spot and all the players (except the kicker and the goalkeeper)
must be outside the penalty area and penalty arc.
Throw-in: A throw-in in football is awarded to a team if the ball goes
over the touchline. It is awarded to the team opposing the side that
touched the ball last. The throw is taken from the spot where the ball
goes out of bounds. The taker must throw the ball with both hands,
both feet on the ground, and facing the field of play.
Goal kick: A goal-kick in football is awarded to the defending team
if the opposing team causes the ball to go over the goal-line. Any
player from the defending side is allowed to take the goal kick. It must

Important Tournaments:
FIFA: There is no greater competition than the World Cup. The
European Championship may have a greater variety of winners. The
Champions League may provide better football. However, nothing
matches the prestige of lifting the FIFA World Cup. The World Cup pips
the Champions League to the No. 1 spot because of the enormous
cultural impact that a victory can have. Nothing unites a nation like being
crowned the best in the world.
The UEFA Champions League: It is the most glamorous club
competition in world football. This tournament brings together the
greatest teams in the world. As the financial clout of club football has
grown, it has managed to supersede international football. In terms of
the quality of play on the field, the Champions League is now the best
tournament there is. Although the pure knockout form of the original
European Cup is still missed, the re-branding as the Champions League
has helped turn Europe into football's most financially powerful
continent. There is no club
competition to match the Champions League.
The UEFA European Championship: The first pan-European
international tournament was held in 1958 in France. In the intervening
55 years, the European Championship has established itself as one of
world football's most exciting competitions. The European Championship
is characterised by its unusually competitive nature: The 14 tournaments
to date have produced nine different winners. Germany and Spain
currently lead the field with three triumphs each. In 2014, the competition
expanded from 16 to 24 teams, prompting concerns that the increase in
size may precipitate a drop in quality.
The Copa America: It is the oldest existing continental football
competition. The first formal Copa America was held in Argentina in
1916 to commemorate the first century of Argentina's independence.
The competition involves the teams associated with CONMEBOL as well
as two other nations, frequently Mexico, Costa Rica or the United States.
Although Brazil and Argentina are regularly referred to as South
American football's "Big Two," current holders Uruguay are in fact the
competition's most successful team with 15 wins to date.
The Copa Libertadores: It is the South American equivalent of the
Champions League. The Libertadores trophy is the most coveted prize
in South American club football, and the competition's final is broadcast
in an incredible 135 countries across the globe. The Copa has
extraordinary cultural currency in South America. It has spawned the
Spanish phrase "El Sueno Libertador," referring to the dream of lifting
the historic prize aloft. Since the competition's inception in 1960, many
have chased that dream. Argentine club Independiente are the most
successful team in the competition's history, having claimed the Copa a
phenomenal seven times.
The UEFA Europa League: It is the much-maligned successor to
the UEFA Cup. As the Champions League's younger and less
glamorous sibling, the Europa League is vulnerable to snipers who
criticise the competition's enormous fixture list and plethora of dead-
rubber ties. However, a glance at the recent list of winners suggests that
European football's major clubs still take the competition seriously.
Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Porto have all experienced the joy of
Europa League triumph in the last few seasons.In 2003, Porto were
Europa League Champions. A year later, they lifted the Champions
League.
FA Cup:It is arguably the most famous domestic competition in the
world. Established in July 1871, it is the oldest association football
competition in the world. The FA Cup has produced some of English
football's most iconic moments and is partly responsible for Wembley's
status as "The Home of Football." English clubs from the Premier
League right down to the fifth tier of the FA National League are invited
to compete. The tournament has subsequently become known for "giant
killings": occasions when minnows overcome the odds to defeat a club
with far greater resources. The 2013 final was a case in point, as
Roberto Martinez's gutsy Wigan side showed remarkable bravery and
discipline to beat the financial superpower that is Manchester City.
The Confederations Cup: It rose to prominence in 2005 when it
was established as a vital forerunner to the World Cup. Since that
auspicious summer, the tournament has been held in the same country
that will host the World Cup the following year. The Confederations Cup
has subsequently become a vital part of preparation for global football's
most celebrated tournament. The Confederations Cup allows FIFA to
assess a nation's preparations for the arrival of their most prestigious
tournament. More importantly, it is a chance for the host nation to pit
themselves
against some of the world's best ahead of the real thing. The excitement
around the current tournament in Brazil is indicative of the
Confederations Cup's rising profile.

former player who is the co-owner of Salford City. He played his entire
professional career for Manchester United
FIFA Team of the Year: It was first awarded in 1991 and was
always destined to become arguably the pinnacle achievement for
an individual in Football. Since it's inception the award has been
seen to be provide the definitive answer to the question who is the
best team in the world.
FWA Player of the Year: Along with the PFA Award, the Football
Writer's Association award is considered as the premier individual
award in England. It is awarded to the best player in the English
Premier League and is voted on by approximately 400 English
journalists. Sir Stanley Matthews was the award's first recipient
after the 1947/48 award.
Bruises – To treat bruising and swelling, the first aider will need to apply
ice on the affected area for about 15 minutes at a time every two hours
making sure to put a cloth or towel between the ice and the skin. A day
or two after the bruising or swelling develops; you should apply a heat
pack or warm cloth to the affected area.
Head & Face injuries – These injuries could be serious and are
associated with concussion (impaired consciousness), cuts, skull
fractures, neck or spinal break. The First Aider’s immediate aim is to let
the player lie down gently whilst avoiding turning the player’s head- this
is to maintain an open airway, check for pulse & breathing and record all
vital signals of response. If the player is unconscious, the airway should
be opened with a jaw thrust technique in order to feel breathing then
proceed by calling out to the player if they can hear you or open their
eyes but if no response, the coach then need to carry out chest
compression also known as the CPR [ placing one or
two hands in the centre of the chest using the heel of the hands with
arms straight to press down about 30 times at the rate of 100-120 p/min]
then perform the rescue breath method [make sure the airway is open,
seal your lips around the child’s mouth and blow gently into their lungs. If
the chest rises, stop blowing to allow it to fall then repeat this 5 times
until they show signs of recovery or until proper medical assistance
arrives.
Ankle, Foot or Toe injuries – when injuries to these areas are minor,
they are usually treated at home to relieve symptoms and promote
healing but in case they are serious, the first-aider or the coach will need
to take the appropriate measures in dealing with the affected areas
using any of the following first-aid techniques.
With a broken bone, it is not advisable to push the bone back into
the skin if it is sticking out but to leave it as it is by carefully
covering the affected area with a clean bandage or hold together
with a splint.
With sprained ankle or toe injury, the first thing to do is to use the
P.R.I.C.E method (Protect, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation)
to reduce the swelling and pain, also use soft padding bandage. If
pain persists then an assessment need to made to ascertain
whether a visit to the specialist is warranted however if it is pain
free, try massaging gently to allow the flow of blood whilst avoiding
hot substances such as hot water or heat gels until 48-72hrs and
then start gentle exercises of movement & strength without too
much strain.
Back Pain – Mostly, footballers feel pain in the lower back. If this
happens, there are various types of simple treatments that can be
applied:
Heat Therapy- Hot pool bath could be useful for some players
whilst cold compression therapy (ice pack) may be suited to
others.
Shoulder, joint and all other dislocations would be the job for the
expert medical professional, any attempt to try reducing or replacing the
joint must be avoided.
