Playing football
We know that football was first played in England about 150 years ago, but the game is really much older. Games with ball were well known hundreds of years ago. The old Roman game “Harpastum”, the Old French game “Suolt”, Georgian “Lelo”, Russian “Shalyga” and many others were all forms of ball games. In the past all these football games were not played at the stadiums or on a football field. They were played in the squares and streets of cities and villages, and they were dangerous to the windows and doors of the houses. People in those days enjoyed their ball games and got as excited about the game as they do now. Young workers used to leave their work to take part in the game. At the beginning of the XVII century, special laws were made against playing ball games. Nobody was allowed to play, and for two hundred and fifty years, there were no ball games.
People began to play again in the second half of the XIX century. In 1863, a meeting was called in a pub in Great Queen Street in London, for the purpose of deciding the rules of the game. The people were very excited, they shouted: “only feet” and “hands and feet”. It was decided to introduce 13 rules of playing football at this meeting. These rules were published in December 1863, and later became the international rules of football game all over the world.
