In 1874, the first game resembling present-day football was played. The game was between Harvard and McGill College. As we said, at this time, they played football like soccer and rugby. Harvard wanted to play the game like soccer, and McGill wanted to play the game like rugby. So you can see there was a lot of confusion. They decided to play two games. One game was played like rugby and the other game was played like soccer.
After the two games, Harvard agreed that McGill's way (like rugby) was better. They liked it so much that they decided to introduce the sport to other Eastern colleges. And that was how College Football began.
The first known professional game was played on August 31, 1895 between a team from Latrobe, PA and a team from Jeannette. Jeannette lost 12-0. It wasn't really until the 1950s, though, that pro football earned its popularity.
i think it was bc maybe some one got bored and tried to start a new game.
the American football game is started with a coin toss then a kickoff
If your are talking about football (soccer), It first started in Brazil. If your talking about football (football), It first started in Ancient Greece. But if you mean in our time (sort of), then the first football game was played in 1869. Then more and more colleges started playing football 'till it became a sport.
