Soccer nor the soccer ball was suddenly invented. Both evolved over time. The original "Ball" was not a manufactured item, rather it was made from animal parts.

The modern game was codified in England following the formation of The Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Included in the modern game is the standardization of the ball used for play.


In 1836 Charles Goodyear patented vulcanized rubber. Prior to this, balls were dependent on the size and shape of the pig's bladder. The more irregular the bladder, the more unpredictable the behavior of the ball was when kicked. However; it would not be until the twentieth century until most balls were made with rubber bladders.


In 1855, Charles Goodyear designed and built the first vulcanized rubber soccer balls (footballs). The Charles Goodyear ball that is on display at the National Soccer Hall of Fame which is located in Oneonta, NY, USA.
