The sport, or game we all know as Soccer or futbol is wrongly confused from where it originated from. Many people say that Soccer of futbol originated from Mexico or Italy, and some even say it was started in Greece and Rome. These are all wrong, the beautiful game of Soccer originated in China during the Han Dynasty, then the game started to be played in Greece, Rome and Japan and Vietnam, but the more and more places that started playing the more and more rules that were being changed. In ancient China the sport was known as cuju and it was still very competitive It wasn’t until the mid-to-late 19th and early 20th century that soccer started to develop as we know it now. Soccer as we know it now is played for entertainment, for fun, and even competition to see who is the best team for example every year there is a huge event where the two most liked Spanish teams compete to see who is better and those teams are Barcelona and Real Madrid. But back then in ancient China this sport was used for training in the military but it was played for entertainment in wealthy cities like Linzi.
