Features: Olympic Series. Football is a very ancient sport, possibly originating in China, originally known as Cuju. Several centuries later, similar games using the feet to kick a ball emerged in ancient Greece, Rome, and Japan. By the 15th century, Italy also developed a more complex version of the game. However, the football we know today was invented by the British in 1848. In 1863, the British established the world's first football club in Sheffield, a city in the north of England.
