sheffield fc if you dont include teams that represented many universities across england. Sheffield established as a team in 1857 are widely reported to be the first offical team as they introduced the first set of rules to the game. Only 11 rules were used and the game prior to these rules consisted of groups of men in a field, chasing a ball and were allowed to handle or kick whilst running with the ball. They could also hack (kick shins) prior to these rules to hurt an opponent into loosing the ball.

The CHINESE, then the GREEKS and the ROMANS (and some other civilizations all over). Then the modern Football with the ENGLISH and then THE WORLD.\n\nHistory info:\nAssociation football, soccer or simply football. The Laws of the Game are based on efforts made in the mid-19th century to standardise the rules of the widely varying games of football played at the independent schools of England.\n\nDocumented evidence of what is possibly the oldest organized activity resembling football can be found in a Chinese military manual written during the Han Dynasty in about 2nd century BC.\n\nIt describes a practice known as tsu chu (Traditional Chinese:蹴鞠 or 蹴踘 ; Pinyin: cù jū) which involved kicking a leather ball through a hole in a piece of silk cloth strung between two 30 foot poles. It was not a game as such but more of a spectacle for the amusement of the Emperor and it may have been performed as long as 3000 years ago.\n\nThe Greeks and Romans are known to have played many ball games some of which involved the use of the feet.\n\nEvidence from many ancient societies Chinese, Greek, Mayan, and Egyptian reveals that kicking games like soccer was played in those cultures. The modern game of soccer began in the 19th century in England, where a variety of football games developed, all of which involved both handling and kicking.\n\nMany different cultures have played a sport similar to the modern game of soccer but no one can really say with any certainty when or where soccer began but it is known that the earlier variations of what later became soccer were played almost 3000 years ago. \n\nOne of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball ( hair-filled ) and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the then Japanese capital, Kyoto. \n\nThe Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern soccer. The early Olympic games in  Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game. \n\nWhile historians kept records of events such as wars and religious movements they had very little interest in preserving the various origins of soccer or many other sports, so no one can say how soccer seems to have spread from Asia to Europe.

the first documented evidence of the game of football was in scotland in the 14th century where the king declared that "the golf and futbal be not usit and cryit dunit" which basically means that that nobody was allowed to play or talk about it in a bid to get more ppl to learn archery to help our failing army.\n\nso documentary evidence shows that the first mention of the game was in scotland but the first football association where the modern game of "soccer" originated was formed in london, england in the 19th century what they don't tell you is that it was founded by men from all over the british isles and was, in fact predominately scottish.\n\nthese are the facts as i have come to find them, take from them what u will.

Football is a game which dates back literally hundreds of years but it has changed form a lot over the centuries. It originally started as an unrecognisable game in which two whole villages would compete against each other to fight, kick, punch and brawl their way to carry a ball to a certain target area. The current version of the game started in England in the second half of the 19th century.\n\nAs for introducing it to the world, the first international game was between England and Scotland but I can't say for sure exactly when
