Immediately prior to the opening kickoff, the referee meets at midfield with the captains of both teams. He flips a coin after a captain of the visiting team calls heads or tails. If the call is correct, the visiting team gets to decide whether they will receive the opening kickoff, kick the opening kickoff, choose an end zone to defend, or defer their choice to the beginning of the second half. If the call is incorrect, the home team gets to decide what they want to do.
If the team that wins the toss defers their choice to the second half, the other team gets to choose from the remaining three options to start the game.

What is older football or soccer?
"if you are talking about AFL football then Afl is older then soccer The first game if soccer was played in 1872, November 30th The first game of football was played in 1858, August 7th" WRONG. The dates are right, officially, but the actual game of Association Football (Soccer) is far older, the OFFICIAL rules were made during this period; and although the first official game of American Football was played "first", American Football is actually a VARIATION of Association Football AND Rugby Football. So how can it be OLDER if it's based on Association Football? Foolish child.
When was the first official game of football played?
1899
