I would say the basic rules are "Kick the ball into the goal (not your own). Do not use hands." I hope that there will be other answers by those who know the game in more detail. The basic rules is to score on the opposite team by kicking the ball in the other team's goal. You can not use your hands at all. YOu can use the rest of your body but not your hands. THere really aren't that many rules to soccer
The first set of rules for soccer were made by the London Football Association in 1863.
The real name for Soccer is Football. You use your foot, to move the ball. Football was invented before American Football, the rules were written before American Football's rules. American Football shouldn't be called Football because the foot is barely used.
Football is the official name for soccer. Soccer comes from association football. Only in the USA and Canada do they say soccer. The global name for football is of course football. The global name for American football is gridiron. Gridiron is a code of handball and not football. Football is a sport where players control the ball with their feet and only football does this. Football has been played for many centuries but had no official rules. The british created rules for football in 1848. After that many codes of handball arose including rugger and gridiron, none of which are codes of football. Question asked by chickenman94
The first College Football game played in 1869 used the rules modified from the London Football Association. Over the next few years as the game gained popularity the colleges began to favor the rules of Rugby over the rules of soccer. The game as we know it today evolved from the game of rugby.
Because it's one of the world's many football codes: association football (soccer), rugby football, Gaelic football, Australian rules football, and American/gridiron football. All of them except soccer allow use of the hands in open play. American football began as a kicking-oriented game. It wasn't until the first American colleges to play football met and standardized their rules, based on the English rugby code, that kicking played less of a role in the game. In fact, kicking remained a primary strategy until the forward pass was legalized in the early 20th century.
There are 17 laws that outline the rules of Association Football (soccer).
Football has the fewest rules out of sports. Football = Soccer

What happened was that at the time it was called football but it was actually played like soccer. When they changed the rules to football (which then made it more like rugby), they kept the old football rules and just called that sport soccer.
Because football is its original name, as the ball is kicked by the foot. It is called football around the vast majority of the world, it is only in America where 'American Football' is so popular it is called soccer. Soccer is sometimes used in Australia due to Australian Rules Football. Both American and Australian Rules football are variations of soccer (football) hence there names.
The rules of football, or, more properly, association football, was created in 1863.
The rules for football are made by F.I.F.A.
"American football" is what football is called in England. This is because the names "associated football" and "football" are already used for soccer.
