  1. Football Assignment By: Maisha Loveday 8C

  2. The Origin of Football Football originated from China around 3000 years ago, but it isn’t the normal football we play today. The Chinese had a different way of playing it but over time, the sport grew into the more modern game we know today as football. In an earlier period, Roman and Greek warriors played a version of football which was used to train them for battle and other types of football developed in South America. Although it was in England in 1863 when the first football association was founded that football really began to be known.

  3. International Set of Rules Eleven London clubs and schools had sent representatives to meet up in Freemason’s Tavern on October 1863 to discuss and set down the international rules of football because it was growing in popularity. This marked the beginning of the football association. These representatives kept meeting to discuss some if certain rules from rugby were going to be included in football rules. On the 8th December, they finally decided that there would be no handling of the ball and so rugby and football separated, creating the football association.

  4. National Sport Many countries have several national sports and there are over 60 nations which include football as a national sport all around the world. That is how popular football is nowadays. South America (Brazil, Colombia), Western Europe (Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Spain), South-East Asia (China, Korea) the Middle East (U.A.E, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq) and most African countries all have football listed as one of their national sports.

  5. Popularity of Football I think football has become a very popular sport because, there isn’t another sport that you cannot use your hands to play and it derived from rugby, which was a fairly well known sport too. Also, you don’t need very much to play football, there are no extra safety precautions such as wearing a helmet like ‘American Football’ and ‘Rugby’ and you don’t need and extra equipment aside from a ball like you do in ‘Tennis’ and ‘Hockey’ which means spending money isn’t a very big deal and also that you don’t have to be very wealthy to play it. Football allows people to show a range of different skills and it is a chance for people around the world to work as a team and bring the best of their team to the table this also links in to the price. Because money isn’t needed for equipment, this means that poorer countries can compete and there will be a lower budget.

  6. Versions of Football Football is a very well known sport, the international way of playing football that everybody knows is not the only version of football there is. There are other ‘kicking games’ that somewhat resemble football and sometimes the rules can slightly change. In other types of football, the amount of players on each team varies as well as what the positions are called. Around the world the versions of football vary but internationally, the version of football that other countries may know as soccer is the most popular set of rules.

  7. American Football For example, American football has a different styled pitch, a different way of scoring, a different type of ball and completely different rules. Instead of kicking the ball with the various areas of your foot throughout the game, you are allowed to carry the ball and you hardly every have to kick it. Also, in American Football you actually have to attack other players and helmets and shoulder pads need to be worn.

  8. Gaelic Football For example, in Gaelic Football there are 15 players whereas in Football there are only 11. Also, the positions in Gaelic Football are (a goalkeeper, corner backs, a full back, wing backs, a centre back, mid fielders, wing forwards, a centre forward, corner forwards and a full forward) and in Football there are (a goalkeeper, defenders, mid fielders and attackers).
