Transcript of Soccer History
When Did Soccer Become A National Sport?
Soccer began in England sometime in the middle of the 19th century, organised clubs began to be established in 1855.

Who Invented Soccer?
There are a number of beliefs who invented Soccer. Some say the Chinese did or Greeks, or the Egyptians.
However, it is in England that early growth of modern soccer took place when the first Football Association was founded in 1863.
I think the The First Nations also had to do with Soccer because they would also kick sticks and stuff around and make nets.
Soccer began to spread internationally in the 1870s and by 1880 is had gained followers in Central Europe. In these regions it became exceptionally popular. Other European nations took it up early in the 20th century, established teams, and began to play internationally.
Competition continued to spread to the Middle Eastern and Asian nations, including nations that produced formidable and well-trained players. The World Cup, as sponsored by soccer's governing body, the Federation International Football Association, has been played every four years since 1930. The first women's World Cup match was played in 1971 in Mexico City.
