Is soccer another name for football?

Answer 1

The official name for football is of course football.

The football association is where the nicknames assoc or socca come from, as Rugby union is often called rugger. These are nicknames and not the official names.

Yes

Answer

Soccer is another name for Association football. The word Soccer started as a phonetically abbreviated vernacular word for Association football coined by English public school students who took the 'soc' from 'Association' and put an 'er' on the end. The same students called Rugby football 'Rugger' but this word has largely fallen out of use. Typically 'an Oxford University student who played Association football and Rugby football' would be described as "an Oxforder who plays Soccer and Rugger". This is why prior to 1863 the word Soccer did not exist.

Answer 2

yes!ANSWER

Depends on where you live. Soccer is one of the world's many football codes, which include soccer (association football), American (gridiron) football, rugby football (both union and league varieties), Gaelic football, and Australian rules football.

In places where soccer is the predominant code, the game is generally known simply as football. In places where another type of football is played, it's called soccer.

Answer 3

Depending on where you are, football may refer to the game played at NFL or to the sport regulated by FIFA. In most American and European countries, and in some parts of the UK, football is the game played with a spherical ball, with 11 players per team. The ball is moved with the feet or other body parts, but it cant be touched with the hands; only by goal keepers inside an assigned area. Goals are scored by moving the ball past the goal line and into the goalpost, which is guarded by a goalkeeper. The word soccer is mostly used in the United States.
