History of Soccer

 First evidence and country of origin of this sport

in history.

England
The most admitted story tells that the game was developed in England in the 12th
century. In this century games that resembled football were played on meadows
and roads in England. Besides from kicks, the game involved also punches of the
ball with the fist.

 First time a woman in history became involved

in the sport
Women may have been playing football for as long as the game has existed.
Evidence shows that a similar game (cuju) was played by women during the Han
Dynasty (25–220 CE). Two female figures are depicted in Han Dynasty frescoes,
playing Tsu Chu. There are, however, a number of opinions about the accuracy of
dates, the earliest estimates at 5000 BCE. Reports of an annual match being
played in Scotland are reported as early as the 1790s. The first match recorded by
the Scottish Football Association took place in 1892 in Glasgow. In England, the
first recorded game of football between women took place in 1895.

 First time a match was played formally.

The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C.W.
Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official
international football match also took place in 1872, between Scotland and
England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C.W. Alcock.
