The football history has

begun long ago. For

example, in Egypt, and in

Germany, and in China there

were the games similar to

football. The Most similar to

modern football of them was

called harpastum . But when

there appeared modern

football, harpastum has been

forgotten. When Englishmen

have invented football, they

began to popularise it at

once in all the countries,

including Russia.

History of football

First football rules were

drawn up at Cambridge

University in 1848.

During the early 1860s,

there were increasing

attempts in England to

unify various football

games that were played in

the public schools as well

in the industrial north.

In early October 1863, a

revised version of the

Cambridge Rules was

drawn up by a seven

member committee,

representing former

pupils of Eton, Harrow,

Shrewsbury, Rugby,

Marlborough and

Westminster

Ebenezer Cobb Morley, is regarded as the "father of football".

He was a solicitor. He wrote to «Bell's Life» newspaper in 1863, proposing a governing body for football. Morley was to become the FA's first secretary (1863-6) and its second president (1867-74), but is particularly remembered as it was he who drafted the first Laws of the Game at his home in Barnes, London, that are today played the world over

The need for rules for football became apparent at the beginning of the 20th century. FIFA was founded in Paris on 21 May 1904. Its first president was Rodert Guerin.

FIFA organized its first international competition in 1906. The next football competitions were in 1908 in Olimpics in London.

On 10 May 1947 a ‘Match of the Century’ between Great Britain and ‘Rest of Europe XI’ was played at Hampden Park in Glasgow before 135,000 spectators - Britain won 6-1. This was followed by FIFA's first post-war World Cup in 1950, held in Brazil. FIFA, meanwhile, continued to expand so that by the time of its fiftieth anniversary it had 84 members.

The first football World Cup

was played in Uruguay in

1930. In the first

championship there was a

match between Argentina and

Uruguay. The Brazilian team,

known as "Seleção", became

the biggest title holder in the

World Cup, having won five

times. The runner-up is Italy,

with four titles, having won

the latest World Cup in 2006.

The Brazilian halfback who became the best football player in the world in 2007 , has left MILAN because of an economic crisis. The Italian club has won the last League of champions. In the national championship Milan has taken only the third place and requirs a good financial injection. The present president of "Real" Florentino Peres has given such an injection, having made Kaka the first player of «GALAKTIKO».
