Which country invented football?

Football originated in China, that is, Cuju in ancient China, while the origin of modern football is Britain. Up to now, it has been the largest sport in the world for more than 65,438+000 years, and the World Cup every four years is a grand event for all football fans. The Origin of 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, especially in capitalist Britain. It was not until 1848 that the first written rule of football, Cambridge Rules, was born. However, many data show that the appearance of ancient football in China is earlier than that in Europe, with 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 development of football began in the middle and late17th century, and football was gradually introduced 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. 1863, 10 year1October 26th, the British established the first football association in the world-the Football Association of England. The meeting not only announced the formal establishment of the English Football Association, but also formulated and adopted the first relatively unified football competition rules in the world and recorded them in writing. The birth of the British Football Association marks a new stage in the development of football. Therefore, it is recognized that the date of the establishment of the English Football Association is the date of the birth of modern football. The establishment of the English Football Association has promoted the vigorous development of football in some countries in Europe and Latin America. 1872, the first inter-association competition was held between England and Scotland. 1890, Austria began to hold football championships. 1889 There are several football organizations in the Netherlands and Argentina. 1900, Barcelona, Spain established the "Female Tyronia" Football Association. These developments have created conditions for the establishment of international football organizations. 1904 On May 2 1 day, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) was formally established in the back building of the French Sports Federation, 229 St. Honore Street, Paris, France. Representatives and agents from seven countries including France signed relevant documents. 1904 On May 23rd, FIFA held a 1 National Congress, and Robert Gerling of France was elected as the first president. On April 1905, the English Football Association joined the International Football Federation. Football prediction develops with the formation of football lottery.
