It might surprise you to know that football is a very ancient game. Yes, the origin of football can be traced thousands of years back. Archaeological evidences suggest that ball games similar to that of football were a part of ancient Chinese and Egyptian civilizations.

No one is sure as to how or where this game originated.

Football flourished in England around the eighth century BC. Football was initially played among the peasant class. It was the tillers of the soil who played the football in the old days. It was a rural custom hardly ever played in the cities. The games were played in a disorganized manner. They could even get violent. There were no rules and regulations. Even a thousand players could play in one match. Slowly the game began to be more organized and played between teams. In the 11^{th century rival villages would play games against each other. There was no clearly defined playing ground. It would be played all over the place on streets and fields destroying fences and hedges and even disrupting people’s business. The game was violent. Opponents kicked and punched each other all the time.}
