They have found evidence that it is a very old game, possibly even played in ancient China and Egypt. It was brought to perfection in England, mainly in the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to the industrial revolution teams were formed in the cities with heavy industries (Manchester, Newcastle etc) and they began playing competition.
Mind you, *steelers*, everybody is welcome to play football.

Association football or soccer was invented in England in the 19th century. It developed from ball games that were played at the various public schools. For hundreds of years before that ball games had been played all over England on certain days of the year, involving whole villages, teams of hundreds, and very few rules. Some are still played, such as the Atherstone ball game which has taken place every Shrove Tuesday for over 800 years.
