Whether you are referring to American Football or Association Football, the answer is no. Dr. James Naismith invented the sport of Basketball in 1891, the sport of American Football was introduced 2 years earlier in 1889, and Association Football (or soccer) came about approximately half a century before that.

No. Modern soccer is one century older, and is based on foundations from the 2nd century BC.
