FOOTBALL

Birth of a PRO-FOOTBALL

The date was November 12, 1892, a day that will forever be etched into mathematical history, although not everyone involved on that day can realize the importance of this occasion. That was the day the Allegheny Athletic Union was defeated. The game was by no means a very important event. But one of the game's conditions made it an unforgettable moment in sports history - one of the AAA players, William (Pudge) Heffelfinger, was publicly paid $ 500 to play the game. Therefore, professional football first appeared more than 100 years ago in a relatively mysterious ocean that could not have provided the slightest idea of   the global popularity that sport would enjoy, especially in the descending decades of the first-century soccer professional.

  The History of FOOTBALL: 

Football (or soccer as the game is called in some parts of the world) has a long history. Soccer originated in its current form in England in the mid-19th century. But alternate versions of the game existed long before and are part of football history.

The earliest known examples of a team game involving a ball, made of rock, occurred in ancient Central American cultures more than 3,000 years ago. According to sources, the ball symbolizes the sun and the captain of the losing team of the gods will be sacrificed.

Another earlier set of ball games was known from ancient Greece. The ball is made of hair-filled leather pieces (the earliest 7th-century air-filled ball documents). In ancient Rome, ball games were not included in entertainment on the big arenas, but could occur in exercises in the military. It was the Roman culture that would bring football to the British island (Britannica). However, it is not certain to what extent the British were affected by this diversity and to what extent they developed their own variables.

 

  Football Clubs: 

Football clubs have been around since the 15th century, but they are disorganized and do not have an official status. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the first football club. Some historians suggest that it was the football club that was founded in 1824 in Edinburgh. The first clubs are often formed by school graduates and the first of their kind was formed in Sheffield in 1855. The oldest of professional football clubs is the English club Knots County, which was formed in 1862 and still exists today.

      Barcelona

The history of Barcelona Football Club goes to a football club that dates back to 1899 and to this day. FC Barcelona, also known as Barcelona and familiar with Barça, is based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The band was founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Spanish academics led by Joan Gamper. The club played soccer until 1910 in other regional competitions. In 1910, the club participated in its first of many European competitions, and has since accumulated fourteen UEFA trophies and six-fold. In 1928, Barcelona established La Liga, the pinnacle of Spanish football, with a number of other clubs.

                        

                                    REALMADRID

Established on March 6, 1902 of the Madrid Football Club, the white team has been used regularly since the club began. The word is Spanish for "real" and was introduced to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 with the royal crown on the ensign. The team has played at its stadiums at the Santiago Bernabe stadium, with a capacity of 81,044 spectators in central Madrid since 1947.
