The origin of football?

Football as we know it today - sometimes known as association football or soccer - began in England, with the laying down of rules by the Football Association in 1863.

While no single individual can realistically lay claim to being the 'inventor' of football, Ebenezer Morley has been referred to as the 'father' of the Football Association.

The earliest form of football is understood to be 'cuju' which was played in China during the Han dynasty from 206 BC to 220 AD.

Most modern Association footballs are stitched from 32 panels of waterproofed leather or plastic: 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons.

The 1872 association football match between the national teams of Scotland and England is officially recognised by FIFA as the sport's first-ever international.
