What was invented first Ice Hockey or Soccer?

Answer 1

Soccer, known as football outside North America, has origins that date back to ancient civilizations, with various forms played as early as the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. The modern version of soccer was codified in the mid-19th century, around the 1860s. In contrast, Ice Hockey's formal rules were established in the mid-19th century as well, with the first organized game played in Canada in 1875. Therefore, while both sports have early roots, soccer in its various forms predates ice hockey by several centuries.
