The history of soccer could start in ancient Egyptsince during the III century BC was carried out a ball game as part of fertility rite, which was practiced something similar to handball. However in China had already invented the leather ball a century ago, when Fu-Hi, inventor and one of the five great rulers of the Ancient China, created a spherical mass hard roots gathering several bristle-like the that coated rawhide, with this was born the leather ball, which was played with just a pass from hand to hand. The history of football continues in classical Greece, where Homer became even alluding also to a ball game, which they called "esfaira" or "esferomagia".

In the early XIXth century began to be practiced the "dribbling-game" in public schools and by there moved to major universities (Oxford, Cambridge) where it was wrote the first rules (the first regulation of Cambridge appeared in 1848) and 1863 it founded the football Association, born the so-called "modern game" or "football Association" and separating this current game from rugby. The separation between the rugby and football or soccer emerged in British Rugby University, where it began to play sport that allowed catch the ball with the hands and run with it.
