Ancient Soccer

Ancient Soccer has been based on substantial evidence that was documented way back during China's early years. It has been documented that there is a manual from the Chinese military written in the Warring States Period. This period was concluded to be during 476 B.C. Up to 221 B.C.

Cuju was the name which best describes the practice which literally means kick ball. This activity originally included a leather ball that was needed to be kicked into a hole from a piece of cloth made up of silk. This cloth was put between two poles that range 30 feet or 9.1 M. The Cuju games became standardized during the Han Dynasty, a dynasty that existed from 206 B.C. Up to 220 A.D.

Rules were implemented during this period and its popularity reached Korea and Japan. The names of this activity in their respective countries were chuk-guk and kemari. During the period of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, the ball was enhanced and was air-filled. The Cuju games using air-filled ball started and became professionalized. Cuju was embraced by some people and many players made a living out of it.

If the Chinese has the eastern version of soccer in the ancient times, the ancient Greeks and Romans on the other hand are their counterparts in the west. Many games and activities in ancient Greece and ancient Rome required a ball that utilized the feet thus soccer also has a possible formulation from these activities and games by the Greeks and Romans. Such is the history of soccer that it reaches out far way back until the ancient times. Ancient soccer is widely known as one of the oldest form of game that required the feet to play it.
