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.

Social Football (Soccer) has no specific start date in Australia, since it was played sporadically across the country from the late 1870s between rival mining communities and visiting ship crews - mostly by English and Scottish natives. Organised football began with a game on Parramatta Oval (NSW) in August 1880 between Wanderers and Kings College. Wanderers won 5-0. Regards Richard Kreider Historian WA Soccer Football and soccer are two completely different games in Australia. The terms are not interchangeable. Football includes Rugby and AFL, and is played with an oval ball which may be kicked or handled, unlike soccer, which is played with a round ball which must be manoevered along the ground using purely one's feet. Australia's first Rugby club was established as the Sydney Football Union in 1863, while the Australian Rules version developed a few years later. Soccer, on the other hand, came slightly later. Although originally called football, it soon lost that name. Soccer is considered to have had its origin in Australia in 1879, although it had been played in Tasmania for a couple of years prior to this.

Is football in Australia soccer in the US?
No. In Australia, the term "Football" [colloquially "footy"], mainly refers to the Australian football game, also called, "Aussie Rules". Even in the two states that play much more rugby than Australian football, they do not reference soccer with the word 'football' - the 150+ year tradition within Australia has therefore long been to be speaking of either Australian football or one of the rugby codes - 'league or union' when football is mentioned. The only change that has occurred is that the major soccer / "association football" league in Australia has changed its own lead name from "Soccer" to include the word "Football", but certainly, neither the general populous, nor the culture as a whole refers to soccer by the term football. The chief governing body of Australian Football has long been named, "The Australian Football League". The true name of the soccer brand of football, by the way, is actually "Association Football".
