Please find some information about football.

Football is an ancient sports activity with a long history. It is said that before the Middle Ages, the Greeks and Romans had already started playing football. On a rectangular court, they put the ball on the white line in the middle and kicked it to the other court with their feet. At that time, they called this game "Baja Storm".

By the beginning of19th century, football was quite popular in some countries in Europe and Latin America at that time, especially in capitalist Britain. It was not until 1848 that the first written rule of football, Cambridge Rules, was born. However, numerous data show that ancient football in China appeared earlier than in Europe and has a longer history.

In ancient China, football was called Cuju or Tuju, both of which meant kicking, and Juju was the name of the ball. The word "Cuju" first appeared in Historical Records, Bielu written by Liu Xiang in Han Dynasty and Biography of Hanshu Meicheng written by Yan Shizeng in Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, "Cuju" was very popular and became an elegant activity in the court. 1958 In July, when Dr. Havelange, the current president of FIFA, came to China, he said: Football originated in China.

Of course, due to the limitation of feudal society, the ancient cuju activity in China did not develop into a modern football sport based on the principle of "fair competition". This qualitative leap took place in capitalist Britain.

The birth of modern football.

Since the middle and late17th century, football has gradually spread from Europe and America to all countries in the world, especially some countries with developed cultures. More and more people go to the stadium and devote themselves to this exciting and enjoyable sport, so that football was once regarded as a symbol to measure the cultural development of a country. In this case, the British took the lead in making important contributions to the development of football.

Football is in China

Introduction and Development of Modern Football

Modern football was introduced to China from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century, and was first brought to Hongkong by the British. 1908, the first organization of modern football in China was established in Hongkong-Nanhua Football Club 19 10 to 1948, and football was officially played in the 7th National Games held in old China. From 19 13 to 1934, China * * * participated in the 10 Far East Games and won eight football championships. 193 1 year, China joined the International Football Federation. 1936 and 1948, China football team also participated in the football matches of the 8th and 4th Olympic Games (no ranking).

During the decades from the introduction of modern football into China to the founding of New China, the development of football and the level of sports technology were at a low level.

Football in New China

After the founding of New China, starting from 1956, China began to implement the system of League A and League B, and stipulated the method of promotion and demotion, and at the same time implemented the grading system for athletes and referees. In addition, the National Football Championship and the National Youth Football Championship were held.

Ten years of turmoil have seriously damaged football in our country. Since 1978, the double-cycle promotion and demotion system of the national League A and League B has been restored, and a relatively stable and systematic competition system at all levels of the national adult league and youth league has been established.

1982 and 1986, China football team participated in 12 and 13 World Cup qualifiers. In addition, I participated in the football qualifiers of the 23rd, 24th and 25th Olympic Games and the football finals of the 24th Olympic Games.

In the past ten years, the level of football in China has always been unsatisfactory. To realize the dream of becoming a football power is to take a difficult and tortuous road, and even require the efforts of several generations. "The future is bright and the road is tortuous."

Although Britain is not the birthplace of football, it is a country where the sport develops very well. In the early days, there were no restrictions on the so-called examples, venues and number of people, so there were often rude or fighting behaviors, so it was often considered as a rude sport. King Edward II of England even ordered a nationwide ban on football in 13 14, and it was not until 1603 that King James I approved this activity again. 1840 football was introduced to the campus, but the competition methods adopted by various institutions were different. Until 1848, Cambridge University published ten Football Regulations of Cambridge University. Since then, football has also begun to flourish in different classes.

1863, the English Football Association was formally established, football leagues began to appear, and football became professional. The first FA Cup was held in 187 1 year. In the following years, the rules and equipment of football also changed according to the needs of the game. From the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century, football developed rapidly to other countries. The reason is inevitably due to business travel and British colonial policy. Due to the rapid development of football in the world, the International Football Association was established on 1904 to promote international interest in football. From 65438 to 0908, football was officially included in the Olympic Games. FIFA also hosted the first World Cup on 1930, and Uruguay won the championship.
