ReneWho played the first football match has been lost in the mists of time, football goes back a very long way.
Football's roots can be found in Medieval football, which was played annually on Shrovetide. It is suggested that this game was derived from those played in Brittany and Normandy, and could have been brought to England in the Norman Conquest. These games were violent and largely ruleless. As a result, they were often banned.
There is evidence for refereed, team football games being played in English schools since at least 1581.
