Where Football Started First Time

Written by Admin

The origin of football can’t be stated for sure, as football has been played with various rules for decades. However, the football we know nowadays has been played first in England, in 1863. Not everything was the same back then, as it is now, but there are a lot of similarities between football now and then. The reason football was founded in this year, is because the sport split its way with rugby; those two sports had been played with the same rules until then. The oldest football club, Notts County FC, was also founded in 1863. 8 years later, the first football tournament was founded: the FA Cup. This cup is still being played annually nowadays, making it the oldest active cup. Fun fact: the reason English supporters sing “It’s coming home” when their national team is playing, is also because of the sports originating from here.
