The
History of English football is a long and detailed one, as it is not only the national sport
[citation needed] but England was where the game was developed and codified. The modern global game of
Football
was first codified in 1863 in London. The impetus for this was to unify
English public school and university football games. There is evidence
for refereed, team football games being played in English schools since
at least 1581. An account of an exclusively kicking football game from
Nottinghamshire-
Notts County
in the 15th century bears similarity to football. England can boast the
earliest ever documented use of the English word "football" (1409) and
the earliest reference to the sport in French (1314). England is home to
the oldest football clubs in the world (dating from at least 1857), the
world's oldest competition (the FA cup founded in 1871) and the first
ever football league (1888). But the first ever inter league was in the
20th century. For these reasons England is considered the home of the
game of football.
