The origins of football, also known as soccer, can be traced back to various ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, and Chinese.
However, modern football as we know it today originated in England during the 19th century. It was first formalized by the formation of the Football Association in 1863, which established the rules of the game and organized the first official matches.
From there, football quickly spread around the world, becoming one of the most popular and widely played sports in history.
