Every year on December 10, according to the decision of the UN, World Football Day is celebrated. Thus, the international community pays tribute to the most popular sport in the world, which for many has become a lifestyle.
In the modern interpretation, football first appeared in England, in the 19th century, although evidence of references to a game similar to football was found many centuries earlier. However, the first rules and regulations of the game, which millions of people around the world are now addicted to, were introduced only in 1863. It is believed that the first international football match took place in 1870 between the teams of England and Scotland. In 1900, football became a full-fledged Olympic sport.
Now football is not just a sport that builds willpower and builds character, but a hobby that unites people not only from different countries, but also from continents, because the language of football has no boundaries. The popularity of this game is also reinforced by its accessibility and versatility - the best football players in the world often come from poor areas and began their football career in backyards that were not very suitable for playing sports.
Football Day is intended not only to promote a healthy lifestyle, but also to unite athletes and fans dedicated to this sport.
On this day, we join in congratulating all fans of the "King of Sports" on World Football Day!
