YOGYAKARTA In the history of modern football, England cannot be forgotten just like that. The country has a role in the development of sports which are now very popular in the world. Then, how did it start?
The forerunner of football actually came from China around the 3rd and 2nd centuries before BC (SM). At that time there was a game called Tsu Chu. Tsu means hitting the ball with legs, while Chu means a ball of leather contains.
The players in Tsu Chu use a ball made of leather, while the net is made of bamboo skin.
Football games have also become known to British people, both in urban and rural areas. At that time the game was known as folk football. Even though it is known in England, at that time there were no agreed rules so folk football was still played freely.
In 1843 it was published Cambridge Rules for folk football. This rule was made by the University of Cambridge. The rules are made very simple, but are starting to be applied by several groups in the UK.
Football games in England grew even more until 1863. At that time the preparation was carried out by the English Football Association. The arrangement was carried out on December 8, 1863 in a building at the Facresons PASSern, England. This moment was later considered the birth of modern football.
The rules designed in the game are not as detailed as they are now. Initially, the rules that were applied were like an agreement not to use the limbs to stop the ball, both in the convoy and in goal printing.
The purpose of the rule is as the most basic differentiator between football and other popular sports in England, Rugbi.
Regulations continue to improve. Even in 1867, the rules were revised again and were implemented by football clubs in England. The rules were later officially published by the Freemason Football Association, London, England.
Support related to the existence of these rules was also provided by football ssociations from Wales, Scotland and Ireland. They agreed to the rules made by the FA. From here, a football association was formed that had a wider scope, namely the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
Long before the FA was established, the oldest football club named Sheffield FC was successfully formed on October 24, 1957. Not only being the oldest football club, Sheffield FC also published a book containing the oldest football rules. In the book there are a number of rules for football, namely as follows, quoted from several sources.
