What is the history of football?

Long ago, people worldwide played ball games without rules—total chaos! But in 19th-century England, two groups emerged to change that. Cambridge University wanted to make the game more respectful. In 1848, they created the "Cambridge Rules," highlighting kicking and fair play. The Football Association (FA) had a different plan. In 1863, they created "Association Football" rules, banning running with the ball and using hands. However, this division created two kinds of football. But people enjoyed the competition, and over time, the FA's rules shaped the modern game. After this, in 1904, FIFA united the world of football. So, have you seen how from disorder to the beloved sport we cherish, football unites people, regardless of their origins. It's the world's favorite!
