The origin of football can be found in every corner of geography and history.The Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Ancient Greek, Persian, Viking, and many more played a ball game long before our era.In ancient China they played a special game for the emperor’s birthday. Soldiers kicked balls made of animal skin into a net between two posts. These posts were ten meters high.The Ancient Greeks and the Roman used football games to sharpen warriors for battle.In the Pacific Islands they played games using hands and feet. They used coconuts and oranges as balls.In Mexico & Central America they played football on their own way and they were used to call it “Tlatchi”.Other Asian countries show us that the history of the game of soccer was probably born in this area.
