All you need is a ball, the teams, and the goalposts, which are often made out of items such as slippers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">At school, in the neighborhood, on the street, in the backyard? <span lang=\"pt-BR\">football<\/span> has been a source of fun for children and adults alike for a long time.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%8BOrigins_of_Football_in_Ancient_China\"><\/span>\u200bOrigins of <span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> in Ancient China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">Around 3000 B.C., in ancient China, the Chinese military had military training that was very similar to a game of <span lang=\"pt-BR\">football<\/span>: tsu chu. After wars were over, teams were formed to kick the heads of enemy soldiers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Over time, the heads of the enemies were replaced by leather balls that were reversed for hair. Two teams were formed with eight players. The object of the game was to pass the ball from foot to foot without the ball hitting the ground.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The idea was that the ball would be carried to one of the stakes that were driven into the field, connected by a wax thread.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%8BOrigin_of_Football_in_Ancient_Japan\"><\/span>\u200bOrigin of <span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> in Ancient Japan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">In Ancient Japan a game very similar to today&#8217;s <span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> was also created, called Kemari.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Kemari was played on a field of approximately 200 square meters by members of the Japanese emperor&#8217;s court. The ball was made of bamboo fibers and there were 8 players on each team. One of the rules was that no physical contact was allowed between the 16 players.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Some historians claim that games between the Chinese and Japanese took place in ancient times.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%8BFootball_comes_to_England\"><\/span>\u200b<span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> comes to England<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">It was around the 17th century that <span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> arrived in England. It was the English who created different rules for the sport.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> was organized and systematized, with the following rules:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p align=\"justify\">The field had to measure 120 by 180 meters;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p align=\"justify\">At the two ends were to be placed two rectangular arcs that were called &#8220;goals&#8221;;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p align=\"justify\">The ball was made of leather and was to be filled with air;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">With rules that were objective and much clearer than the ones previously practiced, <span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> started being practiced by the sons of the English nobility and students.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Little by little, other rules were installed in <span lang=\"pt-BR\">Football<\/span> and it became popular, until it became what we know today.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now you know who invented <span lang=\"pt-BR\">football<\/span> and how the sport was played in the old days.
