Football and futsal

Football
Football is a family of team sports that
involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to
score a goal. Unqualified, the word football
normally means the form of football that is
the most popular where the word is used.
Sports commonly called football include
association football (known as soccer in
some countries); gridiron football
(specifically American football or Canadian
football); Australian rules football; rugby
football (either rugby union or rugby league);
and Gaelic football. These various forms of
football share to varying extent common
origins and are known as football codes.
History
The Chinese competitive game cuju ( 蹴鞠 ),
as stated by FIFA, is the earliest form of
football for which there is scientific evidence
and appears in a military manual dated to
the second and third centuries BC.[14] It
existed during the Han dynasty and possibly
the Qin dynasty, in the second and third
centuries BC.[15] The Japanese version of
cuju is kemari ( 蹴鞠 ), and was developed
during the Asuka period.[16] This is known to
have been played within the Japanese
imperial court in Kyoto from about 600 AD. In
kemari several people stand in a circle and
kick a ball to each other, trying not to let the
ball drop to the ground (much like keepie
uppie).
Futsal
Futsal (also known as fútsal or footsal) is a
football game played on a hard court, smaller
than a football pitch, and mainly indoors. It
has similarities to five-a-side football.Futsal is
played between two teams of five players
each, one of whom is the goalkeeper.
Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike
some other forms of indoor soccer, the game
is played on a hard court surface marked by
lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is
played with a smaller, harder, low-bounce
ball than soccer. The surface, ball and rules
together favour ball control and passing in
small spaces. The game's "emphasis is on
improvisation, creativity and technique"
History
Futsal" started in 1930 when Juan Carlos
Ceriani , a teacher in Montevideo, Uruguay,
created a version of indoor football for
recreation in YMCAs.[citation needed] This
new sport was originally developed for
playing on basketball courts and a rule book
was published in September 1933.[citation
needed] Association football (soccer) was
already highly popular in the country and
after Uruguay won the 1930 World Cup and
gold medals in the 1924 and 1928 Summer
Olympics, it attracted even more
practitioners. Ceriani's goal was to create a
team game that could be played indoor or
outdoor but that was similar to football.
