Do you know that soccer game is influenced by the Chinese? The soccer history has a documentary evidence that such game or exercise which involves kicking a ball into a small net is evidently used during the Han Dynasty by the Chinese military around 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. A field marked out to a ball-kicking game had also an earlier proof that has been found at Kyoto, Japan.
Frankly speaking it is quite impossible to accurately say where and when soccer game started. Although it is reasonable to assume that the game we have known today as soccer originated from some type of ball game which has been played at someplace in the planet for over 3000 years.
The Greeks and ancient Romans both played soccer like type game which has some similarities in a modern soccer, though during the early times, teams have up to 27 players.
The soccer history is quite hard to accurately figure out. Scotland and England was believed to be the co-founders of this organized game, Football, but Soccer is how it was called in Britain, became the most popular sport from the 8th century onwards. Britain is the birthplace of the modern soccer and association football.
Eton College, a famous English school, in 1815 developed a set of rules which later on standardized and had a version called the Cambridge Rules which was adopted by most of England's Universities and Colleges in 1848.
Eleven London clubs and schools sent their representatives on October 26, 7863 in the Freemason's tavern to create a single set of fundamental rules to administer the matches played amongst them. The meeting was then the creation of the Football Association.
