Good morning classmates and teacher, today we are going to talk you about our favorite sport

that is soccer.

But first , what is soccer?

soccer is a team sport played between two sets of eleven players each while some referees make
sure that the rules are followed correctly. It is widely considered the most popular sport in the
world, played by some 270 million people.

It is played by means of a ball that must be moved across the field with any part of the body other
than the arms or hands, and mostly with the feet (hence its name). The objective is to introduce it
inside the goal or the opposite goal, an action that is called scoring a goal. The team that scores
the most goals at the end of the match, lasting 90 minutes, is the winner of the match.

The governing body for football is the International Federation of Football Association, better
known by its acronym FIFA. The most prestigious international soccer competition is the Soccer
World Cup, organized every four years by said organization. This event is the most famous and the
one with the largest number of spectators in the world, doubling the audience of the Olympic
Games.

And now ,what is the history of soccer?

The history of football begins to be written from 1863. Even so, there is evidence of the existence
of football as early as the Middle Ages in the British Isles. The origin of modern football begins in
1863, with the founding of The Football Association.

Soccer was originally a very violent sport. Although in other countries it was practiced in a less
violent and better organized way, such as in Italy. Florentine calcium originated there. This had
repercussions in some British schools. It was then that in 1848 the representatives of different
English schools met. They met at the University of Cambridge and there they created the
Cambridge code. This would be the basis for building the rules of modern football. In 1863 the
rules of football were made official for the first time.

Among the most outstanding milestones in the history of football are undoubtedly the first
meeting of the International Football Association Board and the foundation of FIFA, which have
contributed to the global expansion of this sport. In addition, in 1930 the Soccer World Cup began,
which would become the sporting event with the most audience in the world.

Since the origin of football, the king sport has had constant growth. It is currently the most
popular sports discipline in the world.

who invented soccer?

Its creation is attributed to England, a country that regulated the game in 1863 through the
Football Association (FA), the first soccer association. But while no one doubts that modern
football was born on British soil, there are not so many certainties regarding which civilization was
the first to play football.
