Soccer, or Association Football, was first codified by Ebenezer C. Morley in 1863, in England. The earliest known form of soccer, called cuju, was played in ancient China in the fourth century B.C.E., possibly as a military exercise. Various cultures, some even more ancient, have played ball games involving the feet for centuries.

Football in general can be traced by over 900 years to Medieval Shrovetide football. However, the 'Laws of the game' for Assosiation football (Soccer) were coded by the Football Association in 1863. The first ever soccer match was played on Barnes common at Mortlake, London on 19th December 1863 between Barnes football club and Richmond football club. The Barnes club was captained by E.C. Morley who founded the Barnes club and wrote the 'Laws of the Game' for and behalf of the Football Association. The purpose of the game was to test the new code. The game ended 0-0
