Football
History of Football
Football is one of the most widely played and oldest games in existence. The ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans played something very similar to football long before the English Kings in the 1300s and 1400s tried to outlaw what they described as a violent sport.
In modern terms, football began when the Football Association of England was founded in 1863. The game was spread throughout the world by English sailors who used to play it wherever they went
