Introduction:
This is football used in final of FIFA world cup 1930
When a ball or
something similar came to one's feet, it seemed very interesting and satisfying
to move the ball from one place to another with one's feet - the ball or
ball-like objects were kicked by one's feet. Throwing from one place to another
has probably been one of the favorite pastimes of human beings since ancient
times.
This is why there are indications of games similar to football
being played in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations - a Greek
legend, Maradona, on a vase in a museum in Athens, Greece, refers as football.
shown on his lap—
Apart from this, the local population in America used
to play a game similar to this thousands of years ago.
Football or soccer, as called these days, has not
always been same name- the first mention of a sport similar football is found
in China, which historians agree.
The game was called 'Tsu Cho' and was played by
soldiers of the Imperial Army during the Han Dynasty, around 300 BC - a net was
strung between 2 poles in the middle of the field. And the players of both the
teams tried to pass the ball through this net from opposite directions-
Similarly, a game similar football was played in Japan
in 1000 BC, in which 2 teams of 12 players competed against each other - known
as Kemari - in which the players Standing in a relatively confined space,
passing the ball to each other on the ground with the help of the feet , even
today this game is played in certain areas of Japan .
A similar game in Greece was called Episkyros, which consisted
of lines on either side of a field and a line in the middle - both teams had
the same number of players and the ball was passed over the opposing team's
heads. After throwing behind their side's line, attempts were made to keep the
opposing team behind the line.
A few sources point to the first ever football match
(if you can call it football) being played in 50 BC between the Tso Cho of
China and the Kemari players of Japan, however there were 6 matches between the
players of these two countries.
After the discovery of rubber in Mexico and Central
America between 600 and 1600 AD, the people there began to play a game similar
to mine, in which a long piece of wood or stone was placed in the wall on
either side. The ball had to pass through.
Similar games have been played on different continents
and countries, and they are all important evolution . Today, when football recognized
as the most popular game in the world, The most important name is that of
England, where football arrived after a famous incident in which, after the
beheading of a Danish prince, the army threw him back and forth with their
stumps.
Now The English people have found a new game - for
this purpose, animal leaves were initially used as balls and there is
historical evidence that during the 8th century The first match was played
between natives of East Anglia.
The game became so popular among the soldiers that
they started playing the game and watching its matches instead of practicing
archery.
By this time there was a lot of noise during the
playing of the game and when complaints reached the royal court, due to these
complaints and the fact that the soldiers were reluctant to take part in
shooting practice because of the game, The game was first banned by the king in
the 14th century and made it a punishable offense to play the game - a ban that
lasted for centuries and under different kings and queens .
However, despite this ban and numerous incidents of
brutality and violence in the game, its popularity did not end, until the game
was legalized again in 1605.
Around the same time, the Eskimos in Canada and Alaska
also began playing a game called AQSAQTUK on ice, filled with grass and other
similar materials—the distance between the two balls was sometimes miles. And
entire villages of the whole used to participate in the competition against
each other.
Rules and Laws:
The earliest credit for creating rules for football
goes to Elton College, England, where the rules for playing football were first
drawn up in 1815—among Northeastern universities in America and Harvard,
Princeton, Amherst, and Brown colleges. Football matches started in 1820.
The rules for playing the game at the University of
Cambridge in England were revised in 1848 and became known as the Cambridge
Rules - all schools, colleges and universities in England were required to play
the game according to these revised rules. agreed-
It would be remiss not to mention one character in the
introduction of the game to educational institutions, and that was Richard
Mulcaster, head of two famous London schools, Merchant Taylors and St Paul's,
during the 17th century. He was the
first person to make playing this sport a part of regular extra-curricular
activities, useful for instilling sportsman spirit in students, improving their
health, instilling team work spirit and other aspects.
Perhaps this is the reason why even today in English schools
and educational institutions, football has a prominent place in the
extra-curricular activities.
It is important to mention here that, contrary to
popular belief, until the 19th century, football was only popular among the
aristocracy and that is why football always come across the names of major educational
institutions regarding the rules of the game - England's working The popularity
of this game in the classroom increased in the late 19th century and then with
the passage of time this popularity increased not only in England but
throughout the world.
Journey to the top:
During the period of its growing popularity in the
19th century, disagreements began to emerge between different schools and
colleges regarding the methods and rules of playing - it should be remembered
that most educational institutions at that time had to match the fields
available for playing. They used to make rules to play.
Schools such as Charterhouse, Westminster, Eton and
Harrow, for example, used to play roles that involved dribbling with the feet
and kicking the ball forward, rather than using physical strength and arms. It
used to be encouraged - if you look at it, such rules went on to be attributed
to the rules of sports associated with football or soccer.
Cheltenham and Rugby, on the other hand, were the
schools that preferred using power, boy tackles, picking up the ball and
running with it - a style that later became known as rugby.
Schools and other educational institutions continued
to play football in these two ways, and a form of rugby, like Elton Rules and
Cambridge Rules, was created in 1846 by the Rugby School for Rugby Rules, after
the famous incident in which , a player named William Webb Ellis was the first
to surprise spectators and opponents by picking up the ball in his hands and
running under his arm - this incident and his approach to the game known today
as rugby. It is called from the beginning.
The game had become popular among the working class in various cities of England, and various clubs had begun to form during the eighteenth century - still touching the ball during the game was not forbidden, nor was it forbidden to touch each other. Kicking - Different clubs and educational institutions used to play football according to their preferences and according to their favorite rules and regulations.
And then a meeting of representatives of eleven
prominent schools, colleges and clubs that played was held at the Freemasons'
Tavern on October 26, 1863, to draw up an agreed code of conduct for playing football-
it may come as a surprise that this meeting There was no result and a total of
eight meetings were held over the next three months to reach a consensus.
Meanwhile, supporters of Rugby Rules walked out of the
meeting and eventually Association Football was established in December 1863,
and the first comprehensive rules for the game were published on the same day.
Soon after these rules were made, the first football
match was played between Barnes Football Club and Richmond Football Club in
London on December 19, 1863, which was ended in a tie.
After the formation of this organization and the
agreed law to play football. Journey of development and improvement started with lightning speed - by this time
football had reached many countries thanks to British sailors, traders and
soldiers. And especially in many European countries, FA-style organizations and
playing clubs began to emerge rapidly.
Here is some interesting
facts about the 1863 rules for playing - the most important being that
according to these rules, handling i.e. touching or holding the ball is
allowed, however it is in this case. It was possible for a player to catch a
bounced ball and then be awarded a free kick – handling was banned in the game
with the amendment of the laws in 1869.
In these rules, there is no mention of placing a bar
on top of two goal posts - in the same way, it may be known to few people that
there is no mention of the referee in these rules - in this regard, the
argument comes out that from the nobles. No fouls were expected, so gentlemen
played it without a judge or referee - The presence of a referee in a match
between two teams began in 1891.
A few years after the rules were made, 1872 saw the
introduction of the world's first tournament, the FA Cup, by which time the
number of FA-affiliated clubs in England had reached 50, and then in 1888 the
regular league championship. It started.
Most of the terms which are used while playing are
taken from the military, that's why a goal scorer is called an attacker and a defender
is called a defender - so are the terms backline, winger and attack.
Another interesting thing is that when taking a corner
first, it was not necessary that the player kick the ball from the corner, but
there were many cases in which the players dribbled the ball from the corner
spot near the goal. Reaching and kicking the ball from a position that would
allow a goal to be scored - this streak ended after a rule change in 1913.
Another interesting fact is that before 1927 it was
not possible to score a goal through a free kick because according to the law
of that time a ball hit by a free kick was not recognized as a goal even if it
went into the goal.
Seeing my popularity and the growing number of
spectators at my matches, clubs began to feed professional players to their
clubs for a fee - this trend began when a relatively small club in Darwin, the
then invincible The team kept the Old Etonians away from victory for two
consecutive matches - the Darwin club is said to have fielded two players for this
purpose whose skill and pace helped the opposition failed to win both of those
matches.
The names of these two players from the Darwin clubs
were Scots John Lowe and Fergus Suter and these two are called the first
professional footballers in the world - after them the tendency to feed
professional players in clubs increased to such an extent that the FA only in
1885. Football game had to legitimize professionalism.
Football popularity was spreading all over the world
and once again the same problem came up for the football organizations of
different countries as to which rules and regulations should be played in
international matches - to solve this problem in 7 countries in May 1904. The
representatives gathered in Paris, France and the Federation Internationale de
Football Association (FIFA) was established.
Among the countries that attended this initial meeting
were France, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and Sweden -
surprisingly, England did not attend this historic meeting.
Due to FIFA's continued efforts, the first ever World
Cup was finally played in 1930 and now
22nd edition of the tournament will once again be held by a record number of
fans around the Al Bayt
Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar. Spectators will
be watching on our television screens for the next few weeks.
