Why does Italy call soccer football?

Answer 1

USA, Australia, South Africa, and parts of Canada.

Also Ireland (where they also have Gaelic football), and sometimes in New Zealand, where rugby union is the national sport and is often referred to simply as "football."

Answer 2

Many countries call soccer football, mainly because they do not play American (NFL-style) football, or if they do, it's not as popular as soccer. The term "football" refers to a category of games in which the ball makes contact with the foot in the normal course of play. This is certainly true of soccer, and to a lesser extent, Rugby and the NFL. It is customary for the most-popular football game in a country or region to be called "football", using various other names for the other forms of football. The proper name for soccer is "Association Football".

Answer 3

Calcio is an ancient game that originated in Italy. It's a full-contact sport played in a sand pit and involves throwing or carrying a ball into a designated goal area.
