The Diversity of Soccer Culture: Modern Soccer History

This is the last blog to post in Media 10 this semester. I talked and introduced many soccer culture in the blog and very happy to share with you. Today, I will introduce the history of modern soccer.

Modern soccer originate from the United Kingdom in the 11th century as a egend. In the 12th century, the UK has their first soccer match. The match is for entertainment, held on twice a year and always between two cities. But the soccer match which is not seemed like what we see now. At that time, people played soccer just rush to catch the ball and fight together in order to kick the ball to city center because it will be the winner which team kick the ball to the center firstly. So, people always kick the ball into someone house, but the game is continue, they rush into the house and break all the things in the house. That why many people hate soccer at that time. However, in 1848, the first official rule is created which called "Cambridge rules". From then on, people played soccer in a new way. Also, the oldest soccer club in the world is set up in a small city in the UK called Nottinghamshire in 1862. At the same time, people unify the rules for soccer and it is call "the birth of soccer" by people. The second session of the Olympic Games in 1900, soccer is listed as official competition. And in 1904, FIFA (Federation International de Football Association) is set up in Paris. A new soccer era is opened.
