The Evolution of Football in Indonesia

Apart from the ancient and modern history of football that we have discussed above, there are other opinions regarding the evolution of football. The game of football comes from folk football or ‘people’s football’ in 9th century England. The players kick the pig’s bladder from one place to another up to the opponent’s area or into the opponent’s goal. The matches, which were held on the streets, were often brutal, resulting in a lot of damage, people were injured and even died.

Football was banned by the British government. In the 19th century, football in England began to be regulated by official institutions so that there were uniform rules. Changes also occurred in the style of playing soccer. Football players at first rarely made passes. Usually the ball is carried by one player, while the other players guard if the ball is released.

In addition to having an official institution, football clubs and schools began to appear in England, one of the oldest being Sheffield. The more enthusiasts, the tournament was held with more professional rules and using referees.

This sport then developed in other countries, especially Europe. In 1904 the Federation International de Football Association (FIFA) was founded in Paris. Competitions in each country have also developed to have several castes, for example the Premier League in England, Serie A in Italy, Spanish La Liga, Ligue 1 in France to Major League Soccer in America. The club league is also expanding to the continent. For example, in Europe there are UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League competitions. In Asia there is the AFC Champions League and in South America there is the Copa Libertadores mtnviewfootball.com.
