    First Soccer

    There is evidence in China that military forces around 2nd and 3rd century BC (Han Dynasty) played a game, originally named "Tsu Chu", that involved kicking a leather ball stuffed with fur into a small hole. Like Soccer, no hands were permitted during the play of the game. This is important because it is the very first type of soccer played ALL OF MY EVENTS ARE FROM THIS WEBSITE!!

    First Soccer in another country

    There was possibly a version of a type of ball game played by young women in Egypt during the age of Baqet III, as images of this sport were depicted on his tomb, though there is not much known of this sport except that it was played with a ball. This is the first type of soccer in a different country.
