Football history

The modern history of soccer, as it is currently conceived, covers almost 150 years of existence. It began in 1863, when the paths of "rugby-football" and "association football" separated in England and the oldest Football Association in the world was founded: the "Football Association".

In 1848 representatives of different English colleges met at Cambridge University to create the Cambridge code, which would function as the basis for the creation of modern football regulations. Finally, in 1863 the first rules of football were made official in the city of London.

Since then soccer has had a constant growth, until it became the most popular sport in the world with some 270 million people involved. With the first meeting of the International Football Association Board held in 1886 and the founding of FIFA in 1904, the sport has expanded to reach every corner of the world. Starting in 1930, the World Cup of Soccer would begin, which would become the sporting event with the largest audience in the world.
