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

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.

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


What sport did football develop from?

Why is football called football?

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.
