INTERNATIONAL HISTORY OF FOOTBALL

The history of football is considered to begin in

1863 , the year of founding of The Football
Association , although its origins, like the other
football codes , date back several centuries in the
past, particularly in the British Isles during the
Middle Ages. . 1 2 Although there were
commonalities between different ball games that
developed since the 3rd century BC , today's
football, 1 the sport as we know it today, has its
origins in the British Isles . 2
The first British codes that gave rise to association football were characterized by their little
organization and extreme violence. 3 However, there
were also other less violent and better organized codes.
Perhaps one of the best known was Calcio Florentino , a
very popular team sport in Italy that had an impact on
the codes of some British schools. 4 The definitive
formation of association football had its culminating
moment during the 19th century . In 1848
representatives of different English schools met at the
University of Cambridge to create the Cambridge code ,
which would function as the basis for the creation of
modern football regulations. 5 Finally, in 1863 in
London the first rules of association football were made
official. 6
Since then, football has had constant growth, becoming
the most popular sport in the world with some 270 million people involved. 7 With the first
meeting of the International Football Association Board in 1886 and the founding of FIFA
in 1904 , the sport has expanded to reach all countries. corners of the world. Starting in
1930 , the World Cup of Soccer would begin to be played, which would become the
sporting event with the largest audience in the world. 8
The oldest known activity resembling football or any other code dates back to the 3rd and
2nd centuries BC. C. These data are based on a manual of military exercises corresponding
to the Han dynasty of ancient middle China . The game was called ts'uh Kúh (can also be
found as tsu chu or luju ), and consisted of throwing a ball with the feet towards a small net
made of different materials. A variant added a modality where the player had to avoid the
attack of his rivals. Also in the Far East , although some five or six centuries after the game
mentioned above, there was a Japanese variant called kemari , which had a more
ceremonial character, the objective of the game being to keep a ball in the air by passing it
between the players. 1
In the Mediterranean, two forms of games stood out: the harpastum in Rome and the
epislcyros in Greece , about which there is very little information. The first mentioned was
played by two teams on a rectangular field demarcated and divided in half by a line. Players
from each team could pass a small ball between them, and the objective was to send it to
the opposite field. This variant was very popular between the years 700 and 800 , and
despite having been introduced in the British Isles, its ancestry towards current football is
doubtful. 1
