The game is most popular in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.

The origin of football.

There are many differences of opinion as to the origin of the popular football game that we see. However, it is estimated that the first football game was started by the Greeks and Romans around 350 BC. They used to make balls by filling air in leather bags. The ancient Greeks and Romans played a variety of games with this ball. In some of these games they used feet. The name of their game was Apis Cairos. This apis has recognized the game of Cairos as the original name of the game of FIFA football.

Like the Greeks and Romans, the game of football has been practiced in China since ancient times. Sujo did not name the game of football. The Chinese used to play by kicking leather balls. This competitive game of sujo was recognized by FIFA as the first football game.

The game was later introduced in Japan and Korea. The rules of the game in Japan were to play in a round field and not let the ball fall to the ground. One of the rules of football in the past was to kick the ball.

However, the rules and regulations of the current game of football did not have much in common with the football of the past. None of the countries where football was popular in ancient times could be named as the country of origin of football. So the question is in which country did modern football originate? Modern football originated in England. Numerous players could take part in the first football match in England. And the force of the body had to carry the ball to a certain place. The name of this game was Mob Football. Earlier, football was played in Europe with 26 players. Sometimes football was played with 10 to 20 people.

The British football players of 1848 repealed the previous rules and made new rules. And a rule that a maximum of 11 players on a team can play was made in 1870. From this time the journey of modern football began. Exactly two years later, in 1872, FIFA inaugurated the first international football game. Scotland played England in the opening match. And the result of the game was 0-0. This is the origin of modern football. Since then, England, the birthplace of football, has been acknowledged.
