Which Person Played First Time Football in the World?

The origins of football can be traced back to ancient China, where a game called "tsu chu" was played over 2,000 years ago. The game involved kicking a leather ball into a net strung between two bamboo poles. However, the first recorded instance of modern football being played is attributed to William Webb Ellis, a student at Rugby School in England in 1823.

During a school football match, Ellis is said to have picked up the ball and run with it, breaking the rules of the game at the time. This act gave birth to what is now known as rugby union and, eventually, football as we know it today.
