Best Answer

Soccer was "invented" in England with kids kicking around inflated leather which over the years has been developed into what we see nowdays.

Answer

'Association football' or 'Soccer' was wrote for and behalf of the Football Association founded 1863 by a man called Ebenezer Cobb Morley. The 'Laws of the game' as they became known were based on the earlier Cambridge Rules wrote in 1848. The main aim of the Football Association was to standardise the many forms of football played in England. The word Soccer started as a phonetically abbreviated vernacular word for Association football coined by English public school students who took the 'soc' from 'Association' and put an 'er' on the end. Typically 'an Oxford University student who played Association football and Rugby football' would be described as "an Oxforder who plays Soccer and Rugger". This is why prior to 1863 the word Soccer did not exist. It is probably worth noting the same students called Rugby football 'Rugger' but this word has largely fallen out of use.

Many different cultures have played a sport similar to the modern game of soccer but no one can really say with any certainty when or where soccer began but it is known that the earlier variations of what later became soccer were played almost 3000 years ago.

One of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. A museum in Germany has Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the Japanese capital, Kyoto

Answer

There are many forms of football some of which date back hundreds of years played by numerous rules. However, as the question is specifically about Soccer, I can say with absolute certainty, that the code of football known as 'Association football' or 'Soccer' was wrote for and behalf of the Football Association founded 1863 by a man called Ebenezer Cobb Morley. The 'Laws of the game' as they became known were based on the earlier Cambridge Rules wrote in 1848. The main aim of the Football Association was to standardise the many forms of football played in England. The word Soccer started as a phonetically abbreviated vernacular word for Association football coined by English public school students who took the 'soc' from 'Association' and put an 'er' on the end. Typically 'an Oxford University student who played Association football and Rugby football' would be described as "an Oxforder who plays Soccer and Rugger". This is why prior to 1863 the word Soccer did not exist. It is probably worth noting the same students called Rugby football 'Rugger' but this word has largely fallen out of use.
