History of Football Game
The origin of football traces back to Britain in the 19th
century. Before modern football, there were variations known as “folk
football,” which were played since medieval times with different rules
across regions. However, it wasn’t until the game became a winter pastime at
public schools that standardization began.
The most widely accepted narrative suggests that football
originated in England during the 12th century. During this time, games
resembling football were played on meadows and roads across England, involving
both kicking and punching of the ball with fists. This early form of football
was notably rougher and more violent than the modern version.
