Soccer is short for association football. Football has existed for as long as men have kicked or fought over a ball but there were was no agreed set of rules. The game was adopted by English Public Schools but they couldn't play against each other because they all played to different rules. A group of English schools and clubs came together on 26th October 1863 to agree common rules. They formed the Football Association and the game of soccer was formed. The laws of the game were written under the leadership of Ebenezer Cobb Morley.
