Why can't you use your hands in Football?

Answer 1

: the players can touch the ball , just the goalkeeper because it would be a hand ball. It's too easy if permit to use your hands. but the goalkeeper must be in the penalty box to grab the ball with his hands or else... it will be considered handball

Answer 2

soccer originally came from the England where it is known as football, when it was created in medieval times village children would have to use any means necessary (within reason obviously) to get a pigskin ball from one end of the village to the other. over years of adaptation the rules in different villages changed. in some villages they could only use there hands (which is the original origin of handball) and some villages there feet. using feet turned out to be much more popular and has survived as football or soccer to this day.

Answer 3

Law 12 of the IFAB's Laws of the Game (the rules the world plays by) prohibit touching of the ball while it is in play, except by the goalkeeper within his own penalty area (and even then, not directly from a throw-in or pass from a teammate, not for longer than 6 seconds, and not directly after releasing it from possession). The game was invented to be one played primarily with the feet, and allowing players to handle the ball would be contrary to that.
