The ball games from which all modern football games are known to have evolved were first played in Medieval Europe to mark events in the Christian calendar in particular shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. Early football type games were not only played by the English but also by other European peoples under different names from their languages with localized innovations. Alternative forms include Irish "Caid" meaning 'Ball' the ancestor of Gaelic football, Cornish Hurling "Hyrlîan", Welsh Hurling "Cnapan". A game called "La Soule" meaning 'The Ball' was played in France, "Ba" pronounced bawmeaning 'Ball' played in Scotland and "Ball play" or "Playing at ball" or "Campball" or significantly "Fote-ball" games played in England. The Shrovetide ball game referred to as "fote-ball" is the version from which all modern football games take their name. The most popular modern codes include American football (Gridiron), Canadian football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football, Rugby Union football and Rugby league football and Association football (Soccer).
The oldest recorded set of football rules are the Cambridge Rules of 1848. They included modern aspects of the game, such as throw-ins, goal kicks, forward passes, a rudimentary offside rule; and they prevented running with the ball in hand, but did allow a player to catch the ball much like taking a mark in Aussie rules.

The football rules were gradually codified around the end of the 19th century when the game evolved from rugby. The first "professional" player was paid in 1892, and the precursor to the NFL was formed in 1920.

The history of football is unknown. The term football dates back to the medieval ages when there were games played by foot. In Europe, the game was played in Medieval England. In the 1860's an attempt was made to unify the game. One of the important efforts that was made was they tried to establish the Sheffield rules in the public school of England and industrial north. A person to be noted and remembered in the history of sports is Ebenezer Cobb Morley. He proposed for the establishment of a committee of football. The committee was later called Football Association. The main goal under this association was to agree on a common code since prior to this there were different codes. Ebenezer was appointed the first secretary in 1863 until 1866.He later became the President and served until 1874. Ebenezer was also responsible for drafting the rules of the game. He is more regarded as not just the father of Football Association but also Association Football. Later it became the main governing body and is still to this day.
