• 00:00:00 The history of football is fascinating, and this video takes a look at how it all started. We learn about the ancient games of ball, such as the Aztec and Maya versions, before moving on to the modern game of football. We see how the football code was created in 1850, and how it split into rugby and football. Football was slowly gaining popularity around the world, and by the 1900s, it had spread to all classes of society. Charles Alcock is credited with creating the first cup competition, the FA Cup, in 1871. Football continued to grow in popularity, and by the 1920s, it had reached all corners of the globe. The 1920s were a pivotal time for football, as the first international tournaments were held. We see how the football code expanded and changed over the years, culminating in the FIFA World Cup in 1928.
• 00:05:00 This video discusses the history of football, from its invention to the present day. Georg Rimet, the president of FIFA, decided to hold the tournament in Uruguay due to the country's increasing sporting successes. The Olympics of 1924 and 1928 were won by Uruguay despite the European country's boycott. The World Cup was held with three teams in 1930 and Uruguay won the final, defeating Argentina. After all of this, the world began to take notice of football with the rise of regional leagues and annual World Cup tournaments. We then move on to discuss women's football, starting with its invention in 1895. However, it was not until 1970 that women's football began to become professional. Countries such as Italy, Japan, and the United States are now prominent footballing nations. Female footballers have also been very successful in the world cup, with Brazil being the most dominant nation with five world cup victories. So, whether you're a fan of men's or women's football, remember to enjoy the "beautiful game" for all that it is.
