The current rules of soccer or football (or soccer as it is known in the United States), born in 1863. Then, the fledgling connection of English Football (Football Association) drafted on the basis of the Rules of Cambridge, the first official document that established the form of modern soccer game, rules that in later years suffered some changes, but essentially irrelevant.

En arc determined by the Egyptian tombs have been found data from a sport practiced by the year 2500 Bc Although no literal, data on how they played or what was, if it is known that the ball used in the game is made of animal nerves (catgut) to rebound better.

Although it is assumed that it was the Romans who brought the sport to what is now England, since extended his empire to those lands, there is no literal, data on this, while there is a history of similar games practiced by Celtic, and closer in time for Norman.

More accurately it is known that sport that would lay the foundations of modern football was practiced since the eighth century in the British Isles, with variations in the place and time. Initially roughly without rules, and even unrestricted players sometimes play the ball was very beloved and even violent. King Edward Ii banned it in 1314, so as to dump his subjects to the practice of archery, where the army needed soldiers trained and skilled.

Historians agree that the origin of football is associated to fertility rituals. So the ball symbolizes the sun, and the playing field for sown, which must be done by crossing the sun to ensure a good harvest.

By mid-nineteenth century is starting to unify rules, and in 1846 at the University Rugby is played the first match with coarse rules of sport that was starting to be called football. During the years following a series of oppressive discussions on the regulation and modality divides players, giving birth to so much as to rugby football.

The rules of modern football (which they have introduced variations with the years) were fixed by the connection of English football in 1863. The practice was founded on October 26 of that year, that date is often taken as a foundation for football. On December 8 of that year, schools and universities especially encouraged by the game with their hands ultimately withdrew from the partnership, and drive the Rugby Football Union.

The history of soccer, or, football, as the sport is more popularly known, is fascinating. It is the biggest, most played, and, most watched team game in the world today. Its origins are not categorically clear, but there is some evidence that a very crude form of the game -- at least population kicking a ball of sorts around -- was played over 2,000 years ago in Japan and China. And it is known that the Romans played a twenty-seven aside game in their Olympic games.

It has always been "the people's" game of course: A form of very violent street football was played in both England and Scotland during the Middle Ages, and, was the cause of so much uproar and violence, (and kept young Englishmen from practicing with their long bows) that it was banned by law right up until the end of the 17th Century. However, even during this period, it increased in popularity, so that by the 18th and well into the 19th century, a very rough form of "mob football" was played in the streets of many towns and villages throughout Britain.

There is still some deliberate upon about one aspect of the history of soccer and that surrounds the thorny issue of when and where the first rules or codes were written. Eton and Harrow public schools in England drew-up sets of rules to try to bring some order, and consistency, to the game. And it has generally been standard that the rules of the contemporary game were devised in England by the Football connection which was formed in 1863.

However, there is a book in existence -- written in Latin in 1663 by an Aberdeen (Scotland) schoolmaster called David Wedderburn -- in which he talks about goalkeepers, passing the ball, and scoring goals. Interestingly, in comparison, the Fa's first rule book did not mention goalkeepers, and was based around a more rugby-style of game. So, there are some who argue that this book is the earliest evidence of the rules of the game, as we know it today; and not the English Fa's version.

If this is true, then it is a famous 'first', among several other 'firsts', for the proud city of Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland. The city's team Aberdeen Fc, aka the "Dons", is credited with being the first team in the world to introduce the trainer's "dugout" at the side of the pitch, and, it was the first club in the United Kingdom to have an all-seater stadium. So Aberdeen has well and truly cemented its place in the history of soccer.
