Football is one of the most popular games today. It is played in nearly every country and watched by billions of people all over the world. How has football developed from a once simple game into a global sport? Let's take a look.
The earliest form of football
The earliest form of football was cuju, a ball game played in China over 2,000 years ago. Early cuju balls were made of leather (皮) and filled in with things like hairs and feathers.
Early football in Britain
Football was a dangerous game in Britain long ago. Early footballs were made of pig bladders (膀胱). They were hard to control. Players wore heavy leather shoes with hard toes. You can imagine how many broken bones that could cause! What's worse, there were few rules and therefore games were often wild and violent (暴力的). It resulted in many injuries.
The birth of modern football
In 1863, the first football association (协会) was founded (创建) in Britain. This marked the birth of modern football. A set of rules were made and the game became safer and more enjoyable.
The globalisation of the game
The 20th century saw the globalisation of football. In 1904, FIFA (国际足球联合会) was founded to run international games around the world.
Progress in technology has also made a difference. When football was first being played, there were no TVs or internet. Football was first watched on TV in the 1930s in Britain. Today, it is the most watched sport around the world.
