Football handwritten newspaper won the first place.

Modern football started in England, and its predecessor was ancient football, which originated from "Cuju" in China.

Cuju in China was introduced to Europe by Arabs. After the spread and changes in Europe, modern football was finally formed in Britain, replacing ancient football and continuing to develop, eventually becoming one of the three major ball games.

Football is a sport in which the feet are the mainstay, controlling and dominating the ball, and the two teams attack and defend on the same rectangular court according to certain rules. Football is called "the first sport in the world" because of its strong antagonism, changeable tactics and large number of participants.

Then the development of football entered two lines:

One is that in China, football continued to develop in the form of "Cuju", but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the influence of "Cuju" was not as good as before.

The other is Europe. Europeans changed the rules of cuju according to their own understanding of cuju and local conditions. Cuju was very popular in Europe at that time, but the rules were different and varied.

1983, the English Football Association was established in Britain, which was the first football association established in the history of world football. Its establishment marks the birth of modern football, and the Football Association has also unified and improved the rules of football, which is the embryonic form of modern football rules.

With the continuous development and popularization of modern football, it finally returned to China and replaced Cuju as the only football match.

Subsequently, football spread widely around the world, with increasing influence. 1904, the International Football Federation, the highest organization of world football, was established.

In the process of development, FIFA has also constantly improved its football teaching materials and rules of football matches. With Europe as the core, the level of football is constantly improving, and the four-year football World Cup has also become a sports feast, with an influence comparable to that of the Olympic Games.

1985, Joao Havelange, the seventh president of FIFA, said in a speech in China: "Football originated here with a history of more than 2,000 years, which is indisputable."

200 1, Joseph Blatter, the eighth president of FIFA, once again stressed that "football originated in China".

In 2005, at the closing ceremony of FIFA Centennial Celebration, Linzi, Shandong Province, China was officially declared as the origin of world football.

Football, which really originated in China, has also been recognized by FIFA.
