Football is the name given to a number of different team sports. The most popular of these world-wide is association football (also known as soccer). The English language word “football” is also applied to American football (also known as gridiron), Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby league and rugby union), and related games. Each of these codes (specific sets of rules, or the games defined by them) is referred to as “football”. Peoples from around the world have played games which involved kicking and/or carrying a ball, since ancient times. However, most of the modern codes of football have their origins in England. During the early 1860s, there were increasing attempts in England to unify and reconcile the various public school games. The first FA rules still contained elements that are no longer part of association football, but which are still recognisable in other games (most notably Australian football).
