Roots Of Football ( Ancient Egypt )

FOOTBALL  is as everything else , has roots and origins , that might be at it's very beginning , is different 

.than what it is today

there is no exact evidence ,where the game were first played, or who invented it?. all we can say is that FOOTBALL has very ancient roots and it is almost every where in the world, we can track some of those 

.ancient roots, while some are not given us a clear vision about the game 

what i mean is, some cultures played games are  maybe 50% to 70% similar to Football we know today and 

.some other culture played just ball games that maybe Football developed from it

 OK i will start this series of  (Roots Of  Football) with my home land Egypt

:-let's start this step by step-

 based on drawings , some artifacts, and balls were found in Ancient Egyptian tombs , it's suggested that Ball
.games were played around 2500 B.C

in his book ( Sports And Games Of Ancient Egypt ),Wolfgang Decker says that there is a number of balls
.made from variety of materials ,all of them are stuffed and solid not filled with air

he says also that the best of them consists of leather stripes ,exactly 12 stripes, sewn around a core of straw,
reeds, hair, yarn or chaff, also there were balls are not covered and made from wood , clay , papyrus, or
.palm leaves

.the diameter range of those balls were around 3 to 9 centimeter

there was allot of ball games in Egypt and there in an evidence that supports the idea that Egyptians played a Football-like game during the feasts of  fertility they wrapped their balls in bright-colored cloth and kicked
them around the ground to celebrate the abundance of earth during the flooding season, the game is unknown
.but some balls that was made of linen were found wrapped around cat gut to give them better bounce

this is all i was able to find about the game in Ancient Egypt , but in the modern days Football is the
.number 1 sport in Egypt

more history to come :)

Soccer or Football ???????????

well........is it called Soccer or Football? the tow words refer to the same game,but Football is more widely used and more popular than 

.........................Soccer, that's one

 Soccer is wrongly thought that it's an American term,it is

...............English.how it was invented ? here is the story

back in time , in England exactly 1863 a group of public schools got  together to form the rules of the game, this group made an association, the rules were set and a new term appeared ,and that 

.(was(Association Football

Soccer is an abbreviation of the word Association in the term Association Football

English people loved to nickname things and also to add ER to the end of the word,so they nicknamed the word Association and called 

.it Assoc and added the ER and it became Assocer

then it was said that the 1st who used the term Soccer was an English Oxford university student (Charles Wredford Brown),who 

.loved to shorten words ,he shortened Assocer to Soccer 

Association Football was originally set to differentiate the game from the other famous type of football that was in England back 

.(then ( Rugby Football

......................back to America

the Americans had already a sport and it's different than the game we are talking about ,and it's also more famous this sport is American Football , and when the US started to play the game , they formed a governing body for it, and to avoid the mix between the tow sports they used the word Soccer in the name of the governing body and it was ( United States Soccer Football 

(Association 

this name was used for years ,and then in 1974 ,the word Football   was removed and the name of the governing body became ( United 
(States Soccer Association  
since then and the word Soccer is used in America to refer to the 
.game that's called in other parts of the world Football

and Soccer is used in other countries also , the countries that as the 
.US had already other famous sports under the name football

Although the English invented the word Soccer they call the game 
..Football Not Soccer


...................hope this was useful enough 


SEE YOU <3

Now it's time to know the reason behind this blog, well the reason is simply that i adore soccer , i know that there are zillions who write about it, but every one has his own style and reason why writing  about it.

it is just only i'v established this blog for the sake of the game which is my real passion , hoping you find it useful 

Before start talking about soccer , i want to make some points  

:-clear  

 the reason why i started this blog with THE FOOTBALL CODES  is that while searching i did not know that  the word Football  i  know could mean more than one sport under the same name ,and each is different from the other , and i did not know that soccer is only one of the codes of football. which the whole blog is all about 

also some people might not know this information so i wanted to  share it with everyone, specially in my country Egypt.

so welcome everyone
