England: Father of Football

The first Professional football league was founded in England in 1888. Football is the most popular and most watched sport on this planet. Since the introduction of ball games, football has been developing constantly. In the 20th century, several forms of football came to be introduced and gained a lot of popularity including American football. 

The football you see today is Modern football with modernised rules and methods. Modern football was invented by British resident William Gilbert in England who instituted the first codified set of rules in 1867.

The football association was founded in 1863 which introduced the new codified set of rules of football. It also organised and controlled the international tournaments before the establishment of FIFA in 1904. The word association means a group of people with the same interest who work together to achieve their United goals. It can be in any field to manage things including sports, business, social campaigns, etc. 

If we look back in the 1800s, football was not a popular sport of England while it was the one to invent Modern football. The early versions of the game were a lot different than the game you see today. These were more fierce, aggressive and dangerous. Also it was more like Rugby. All of these games were considered synonyms. In 1866, Sir Frederick Alymer, 2nd Baronet of, adopted these rules of British Rugby in the University of Cambridge. This event was then followed by the creation of a new differentiated sport called Rugby Football.
