Football

The idea of two teams pushing backwards or forwards to each other began in ancient Egypt

as a ceremony celebrating good harvests. The Roman army of Julius Caesar brought it to

Britain, where people quickly began to play it. Today’s association football, or soccer,

comes directly from “association”, which students called “Assoc”.

The first description of English football appeared in 1775 in London. Rules of those days

were not as strict as they are today, and games frequently ended in fights with broken arms

and legs and even deaths. The number of players could exceed 500 and a game could last a

day.

The birth of modern football took place in London in October 1863 when the football

Association was formed, and in the following few years most of the rules as we know them

were adopted. Today, big football games in London are played at Wembley Stadium, few

miles from the centre of London.
