The remains of this
discipline, as well as
other
varieties
of
football, can be found in
ball games popular in
various civilizations. In
the British Isles, this
custom is of unknown
origin. He could come
with Celts, Romans,
Danes, or Normans. You
can trace the unflagging popularity of folk football from the oldest known note
made between 1174 and 1183. The origin of the English sport name - 'football' -
is also not explained. To this day, traditional folk football has survived in some
places in the United Kingdom, such as Royal Shrovetide Football. The term
"soccer", contrary to popular opinion, is not a native American word but derives
from British English and is a slang short name for the full football name:
"association football". It is used in many English-speaking countries, where a
different type of football prevails, such as American football or Australian
football. In the 19th century, the United Kingdom was the center of the industrial
revolution, which led to significant civilizational changes. The ball was moved
from cities to suburban meadows, the first rules were written down. Public
schools lead the way, recognizing that movement games can positively affect the
development and discipline of young people. The creation of the railroad meant
that schools could compete with each other much easier. The problem was,
however, the lack of common rules of the game. Rules - usually only a few - were
set just before the match. The oldest known rules of the game were written in
1845 at the Rugby School in central England. The rules written at Cambridge in
1848 and Sheffield in 1857 turned out to be key to the development of football.
From then on, we can talk about the gradual separation of football and rugby. At
that time, a conflict between the supporters and opponents was growing. The
Cambridge rules were written after the meeting of 12 clubs. They were
distinguished by the fact that they limited the ability to hold the ball in hand and
favored kicking it. The Cambridge rules were not widely adopted in England, but
became the basis for the first rules of The Football Association in 1863. The North
English Sheffield Football Club, founded in 1857, wrote in the same year its own
rules that would significantly affect the development of the game. In this
workers' region, schools had less influence on the game. The innovations
