Phaninda, Episkirus and Harpastum are more rugby than soccer if not entirely. These three games are most closely related to rugby football, North American football and wrestling, more distant than anything you'd recognise as soccer, according to this link for example https://books.google.com/books?id=IGy_QNv-J4oC&pg=PT32&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false . Maybe all these can be placed under the category football of which rugby football is part, but only for soccer it seems that only Cuju is suitable as this is the first recognized form of soccer by FIFA, now it is said that Phaninda is in the article. In fact Phaninda is an earlier form but unrecognised by FIFA and widely recognised as rugby, the statement considering Phaninda as such needs to be changed. Furthermore FIFA denies that modern football derives from these. For these reasons, I am going to move Phaninda, Episkitus and Harpastum to rugby football. . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelosbrain (talk • contribs) 01:34, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Please add another paragraph under Players, equipment, and officials: Rules may vary depending on the level of play. For example, teams may consist of 7, 9, or 11 players depending on level of play, or size of field. Also, the size of the field may vary depending on level of play, or whether the game is indoor or outdoor. Also, there may be less than 3 referees depending on the level of play.
Also, the hardness and the size of the ball will vary depending on whether is it used in a youth, collegiate, or professional game. 192.234.38.43 (talk) 12:40, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
the ref-citation given in the "infobox" for the nickname "the world game" doesn't actually provide evidence that it is called "the world game" by anybody, it is more a suggestion that calling it fingerquotes "the world game" would be appropriate. Here is the citation for your convenience http://theconversation.com/in-a-globalised-world-the-football-world-cup-is-a-force-for-good-28727 That article itself references another article which is perhaps better evidence that it is called in some parts "the world game", but that reference itself also requires inference on the part of the reader https://theconversation.com/it-may-be-the-world-cup-but-how-global-is-the-world-game-27330 71.190.240.122 (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

24.108.143.166 (talk) 03:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC) socer is one of the worlds smallest sports. in other countries it is called football,in the united states of america football is a violent and a much bigger game played around the world in australia,china,europe and many other citys and countreis around the world. one fact about socer is that the players usualy over exaguate their injuries to make the ohter player get penalties, there are two types of cards the yellow one and the red one, the yellow card means that whatever you did was good the red card means that whate whatever you did is worthy of a privet dinner with the pressident.

The first line of the "History" section says that "cuju ... is the earliest form of football for which there is scientific evidence." Instead of "scientific evidence," it should be "historical evidence." The FIFA article doesn't mention any use of scientific or archaeological techniques to determine that cuju was a sport. There are only historical records that describe cuju such that we know that it was similar activity to football.

If so, we should list those countries in the name section. If not, then it is crucial that we mention this. I'm not here to argue about the name of the article, but people reading the article should be able to get a realistic representation of this sport's name and that the current title reflects more a technicality in Wikipedia than widespread acceptance. I think this is definitely noteworthy. Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 18:03, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Not done. Yes. You could start by reading the article. It links to North/Central America & Caribbean: Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF). It links each region's associations. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:44, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
I believe each fact is cited, and in addition I'm very impressed by the amount of citations. I never would have thought it necessary for something as simple as soccer. Since this is a general, introductory page, I don't believe that any of the information is outdated.

write more about the team matches in association football 39.37.156.255 (talk) 14:49, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Multiple times in the article it states that Association Football traces its roots to China, eg. “first played” in the info box, a paragraph in the opener and in the history section. However, as is also stated in the article, these games are unrelated to modern Association football, and as much a part of Rugby, American and Australian football as they are to AF. This information belongs on the Football page, not the Association Football page.
118.211.59.209 (talk) 07:58, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
"First, this contradicts the earlier sentence. If defenders and keepers wear long sleeves, how does that differentiate the keeper. Second, keepers wear a different colour"
In the last section: "Variants of football have been codified for reduced-sized teams (i.e. five-a-side football) play in non-field environments (i.e. beach soccer, indoor soccer, and futsal) and for teams with disabilities (i.e. paralympic association football)."
All three occurrences of "i.e." are incorrect and should be "e.g." (exempli gratia, "for example"). They specify examples of what is previously said, rather than elucidating the meaning of the previous terms. 195.157.65.228 (talk) 14:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
User:Giants2008 has just added a mention of this "game" to the article. This is not a good move. It's a game many of us think probably never existed. Most Australians know that soccer, as it was universally known then in that country, became derogatorily known as "wogball" during the 1950s and 60s, because it was largely played by recent immigrants from Europe, also derogatorily known as "wogs". See our articles on the play Wogs Out of Work and the film The Wog Boy for examples of this usage. The final section on that article's Talk page shows the unresolved concerns about this issue. Woggabaliri is a poor, very thinly and dangerously sourced article, on something that probably never existed. It's addition here will just make many people laugh because of the big joke happening here. HiLo48 (talk) 01:58, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
One of the phrases reads: "The teams finishing at the top of a country's league may be eligible also to play in international club competitions in the following season." This reads that you need to finish top of the league to qualify for the international club competitions. However this is not the case in many leagues as teams finishing anything up to 7th in some league can qualify. I amended it so it read "The teams finishing at, or near the top, of a country's league" as this is more accurate but it was reverted and I was told I was being pedantic. Thoughts?

Fun Facts about Soccer you may not know! Soccer is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a ball and is known as football in most countries outside of Australia and the United States. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most popular sport.
In my opinion this article should be moved to its WP:COMMONNAME, which is football. It's rarely called anything else than football, and virtually noone calls it association football; more than 99% of reliable sources probably just call it football. It's clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as far as the term football is concerned. --Tataral (talk) 00:30, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I would prefer this article to be called Soccer. Mind you, I'm a North American, so no surprise :) GoodDay (talk) 14:59, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
@Walter Görlitz: I unbolded "football" because there is another article called Football, and there is no direct redirect from Football to this page. This is how I understand WP:Lead re bolding. Technical reason only; I also call it football. I changed the asterisked list to Plainlist because of a discussion I came across just recently saying that it is better for people with hearing disabilities who use voice software - but perhaps this is only compared with line breaks? Anyway what I took away from that was that plainlist is preferable. Just answering your questions because you asked - happy to be corrected! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:14, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Soccer (also known as “football”) is one of the most popular sports in the world, with a growing number of enthusiasts and players world-wide. Despite this fact, strength and conditioning programs for soccer are often neglected or outdated. Except at the professional level, many athletes and coaches still focus only on skill development and endurance training (ie- running), and ignore other important elements of fitness such as: Strength and strength endurance Speed and power Flexibility Agility Nutrition Athletes of other popular sports such as hockey or American football typically understand the importance of a complementary strength and conditioning program (especially off-season) to improve their performance, but it seems that some soccer players don‟t believe that elements such as strength or power development are necessary for their sport. This couldn‟t be further from the truth. In this article I will take a closer look at the different components of fitness involved in the sport of soccer, and then suggest a simple way to organize your high performance training program. I will not be discussing skill development in this article.
Endurance in Soccer
A soccer fitness program should be built around developing a good aerobic base. Several studies into the physiological demands of soccer have shown that outfield players can travel up to 13 km or 8 miles during a 90-minute game. This places a significant demand on the athlete‟s cardiovascular system and muscular endurance. Having said that, I believe this is one aspect of training that is already over-emphasized in this sport.
It‟s not uncommon to hear of soccer players running for at least an hour at a time several days per week in an attempt to improve their performance on the field. However, if you start to analyze the „sport-specific‟ requirements of the athletes, you will realize that they are actually engaging in varying intensities of activity for different durations while playing, including: walking, jogging, running, and sprinting, and in various directions. Incorporating interval training into your program, that involves high and low intensities of activity, will provide better results than long duration, low intensity jogging alone

template. MadGuy7023 (talk) 11:23, 21 June 2020 (UTC)I've been doing reports on Soccer/Football since the mid-90s and have an Eidetic memory. All the research, books, Encyclopedias, and articles I've read were written way before the internet was even around. I noticed most of your citations were made from literature written after 2005 and my citations go as far back as the '70s, which was before most of the Authors were even born. I have also read books on the Haung Dynasty written before these Authors were even born none of which mentioned any form of sport other than their classic fighting styles. The sport Originated near the British Isles and was quickly spread across the North Atlantic seas and even into North America by Vikings who would invade countries and cut off their captures heads and kick them around a field to show dominance to their future conquest. I think most of the citations have been modified, via the internet, or edited to fit their social Norm; but it is truly a British, Norwegian, and Dutch-based sport that spread quickly due to the Vikings well built Scandinavian Boats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:610:A490:145B:B428:D024:7318 (talk) 08:11, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

In the recent months there have been debate if Association football (Soccer) should be classification as a Full Contact or Limited Contact Sports by some Wikipedia users. A few months ago I have removed Association football from Wikipedia Contact Sports pages due to lack of references to support it. Back in June 2020, I did added reference mention hard tackles in soccer but the sources I have added are not reliable enough. Then I did try to find the reliable sources weeks ago if Soccer is a limited or full contact sports, but it seems I can't find the reliable sources to support contact grades on Soccer. But there is difference opinion about it, For Examples:
Some people does call Soccer a full contact sports as Injuries can happened frequent due to hard tackles, Injury to head or hard hit by the ball. Another reason why soccer could be a full contact is because it have contact actions like slide tackles, blocking, headers and also have perfectly legal to knock a player off the ball, or even to the ground in several ways (e.g) it is a fast sports as the soccer ball can travel up to 100 km/hour;. Soccer also have a high rate concussions along with American Football, Ice Hockey and Rugby.
Some people does call Soccer a limited contact sports as it have rules are specifically designed to prevent contact between players either intentionally or unintentionally. Contact can still happen, but penalties are often used to disallow substantial contact between players. In soccer player cannot tackling from behind, kicking and holding opponent.

Folks, nobody calls this "association football" in reallife. I think the main article should be either football or soccer, whatever is more prevalent globally (I don't care), but to have Wikipedia default to the more cumbersome name "association football" ... sorry, I disagree with that. What was the history leading to this situation? It should not be up to whoever was the first to write the article and establish that redirect, but really to "common use" of words instead. As it is, with that default name given, it insinuates that this name would be more commonly used and thus be more important, and this is simply WRONG. So please, put it as football, or soccer first, or perhaps both; but not "association football", that just makes no sense at all. This is also why I in general agree with the move proposals out of principle, it makes no sense as it is right now. 12:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:8388:1641:8380:f57d:59ae:a2ae:b491 (talk • contribs) 12:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I am currently working on an article to be placed at Roland (Japanese host), and am in the process of translating the section about his involvement with this sport. Unfortunately, I don't know much about it and am not sure I'm using the right terminology. I was careful to put the right Wiki links, but there's a lot I don't know about the sport and also in line with Wikipedia standards. I have kept it as "soccer" because that's what it's called in Japan/the original article, but should I change it to football? I would appreciate any assistance, especially if anyone who is familiar with the sport here is also fluent in Japanese. The article draft is currently in my sandbox. Thank you! Londonbeat41692 (talk) 05:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC) Also, I am having difficulty finding a category that accurately reflects his involvement with the sport (as he isn't technically a member of any team, but is affiliated with some). Does anybody more familiar with it have any ideas that might be appropriate? Londonbeat41692 (talk) 07:23, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

I would like to add my take into the contact discussion. I have found these 2 sources from the IFAB (International Football Association Board) themselves. The body which determines the rules of association football itself and works extremely close and are in ties with the governing body of the sport, of course being the "International Federation of Association Football" (FIFA).
Here is the PDF document of the latest laws of the game (20/21): https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/ifab-laws-of-the-game-2020-21.pdf?cloudid=d6g1medsi8jrrd3e4imp
In page 103 of the "fouls and misconduct section" it states:
"using excessive force: • charges • jumps at ... • pushes ... • tackles or challenges"
It also states in the next page (104):
"A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences: ... • impedes an opponent with contact"
Which I believe leans a lot more on the "limited contact" term/group than others.
I also found this in the IFAB website with regards to a new term they created in the latest 20/21 laws of the game which I believe sides with the "limited" contact group again. The term is called "Holding offence" and its defined by the IFAB as: https://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/39/section/121/ (it is among the "H" section of course)
Note, I am not at all demanding "limited" contact to be entered in the table of this Wikipedia page in any way. I'm just stating what I have found, and it face value and with what the IFAB has written in their rules/laws of the games. As well as their definitions in their glossary of the laws of the game document. It really does seem to lean more towards the "limited" contact side of the spectrum than others.
(Also it literally does say "however, physical contact between opponents is restricted." in the "Gameplay" section of this Wikipedia page lol. Restricted being a synonym of "limited" or "permitted")
Anyways, thanks for taking time out of your day to read this who ever chose to do so. It's greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.231.216.132 (talk) 21:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

it is missing some details on her past life POlopgman (talk) 19:11, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Kicking ball games arose independently multiple times across multiple cultures. The Chinese competitive game cuju ... resembles modern association football. ... Other games included kemari in Japan and chuk-guk in Korea.
This seems a little problematic, as the implication is that the multiple examples are ball games that "arose independently multiple times across multiple cultures", especially given that the Korean and Japanese games are given separately from the Chinese one with no reference to the possibility of a single Chinese origin. I don't actually know a lot about this topic so I recognize the possibility that these games were all developed independently, but their names seem to be identical in writing, and given the lack of substantial written records in either Korea or Japan until well after the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), [when] cuju games were standardised and rules were established
it seems difficult to prove one way or the other.
So wouldn't it be better to specify at the top that the section lists examples of football-like games in various cultures regardless of whether they developed independently, or at least name the Japanese and Korean ones in the same paragraph as the Chinese one?

Hi editors, I reviewed this article for WP:URFA/2020, a working group dedicated to reviewing and fixing up older featured articles. I am concerned that this article might not meet the featured article criteria in its current state and needs some updating. My concerns are outlined below:

“The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into the opposing side's a rectangular framed goal.”
Should be changed to:
The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into the opposing side's rectangular framed goal.

Please remove this statement:
Goal line technology is used to measure if the whole ball has crossed the goal-line thereby determining whether a goal has been scored or not; this was brought in to prevent there being controversy.
and add this one:
Goal line technology is used to measure if the whole ball has crossed the goal-line thereby determining whether a goal has been scored or not; this was brought in to prevent controversy.
"there being" makes the sentence sound unusual. It sounds like the sentence says that the technology exists to prevent controversy arising, and "there being" is unnecessary for that. 175.39.61.121 (talk) 09:33, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

balls are normaly size 5 Jarrayeet (talk) 07:26, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
The article says "The two teams compete to get the ball into the other team's goal". To Association football fans, this will seem perfectly correct and logical, but when looked at from outside the game, it's actually quite confusing. In normal English, YOUR goal is something you are aiming for. The opposite is true in football language. You aim for what is described as your opponent's goal. You try to stop the ball going into your own goal. This a global encyclopaedia. We should write in language that is clear to someone not used to the jargon of the game. There must be a better way of writing that sentence at the beginning of this comment, but I'm struggling. HiLo48 (talk) 10:10, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

If you're referring to the 2004 news article about Cuju on FIFA Magazine, I think it's a bit of a stretch to say FIFA recognized it as the earliest form of football. It was not an editorial or an official document, and was written by a professor of Oriental Studies (the German Helmut Brinker) as a piece of trivia and entertainment. The same can be said about the current article calling Britain the "home of football", which is certainly more accurate, but still, not an editorial by FIFA, just a piece of news trivia.
This English Wikipedia about Association Football also alleges that FIFA recognized it as the earliest form of football, but the given reference page is broken, and I couldn't find any screening on "Wayback Machine" of a previous version showing it.
That said, I think we should be aware that every sport is a potential object of geopolitical dispute, which includes the creation of those foundational myths. Neither the east-asian nor the mesoamerican sports were football, and calling them so is an anachronism.
Regardless, I think the "officially recognize" part should be deleted. Because it is not, and it is embarrassing to have this on the Wikipedia article of the most relevant sport on Earth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:d01:76c0:a1a3:83b2:5b7f:d748 (talk) 17:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
I Agree, when they make this British english, they should rename recognize into marketed in this context (or Blattered).
Dribbling is done by striking the ball with lace or instep part of the boot.Giving the ball n ot more than a one metre gap at a moderate pace.the knee of foot in use should be bent forward and hands raised slightly for balance and the head is raised up.
Sprinting with the ball could only be best when coming from a flank more especially when the opponent is at a distance .
The use of skills could help confuse the opponent , mostly a fake would be suitable. A step-over are best used when an oncoming opponent is sprinting .faking of passes,crosses and shorts could help a lot — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99Kings (talk • contribs) 09:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Remove repeated paragraph ("Phaininda and episkyros were Greek ball games. An image of an episkyros player depicted in low relief on a stele of c. 375–400 BCE in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens appears on the UEFA European Championship trophy. Athenaeus, writing in 228 CE, mentions the Roman ball game harpastum. Phaininda, episkyros and harpastum were played involving hands and violence. They all appear to have resembled rugby football, wrestling and volleyball more than what is recognizable as modern football. As with pre-codified mob football, the antecedent of all modern football codes, these three games involved more handling the ball than kicking.") CrisantemoFlor (talk) 15:41, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
A football pitch describes any area on which association football, in all of its derivative forms, is played. "Football field" does not adequately describe a football pitch under all circumstances which the game and its derivatives are played. Therefore, I would like to change the application of "field" in the introductory text to "playing area".
Because football can be played on a variety of surfaces, it is not adequate to use the words "field" and "pitch" synonymously. While it is true that the Law of the Game for 11-a-side Association football (real football) define the playing area as "the field of play", it cannot be assumed that all derivative form of football based on "the laws…" are played on a field. Indeed, as derivative forms of football have progressed, the game is frequently played on a variety of surfaces, including but not limited to grass, dirt, gravel, concrete, asphalt, parquet and rubber. All such areas are pitches, yet not all pitches are situated in fields. SteadyJames (talk) 19:13, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
The number of players defined in the introduction is inaccurate and should be updated.
The Laws of the Game define that there should be no more than 11 and no fewer than 7 players per team if a game of football is to proceed.
In addition, alternative forms of football that are derived from the laws of the game and maintain the central premises of Association football also vary in the number of players included on teams. Although these varient games can include teams comprised of one player or unlimited numbers players per team, it is more typical to have between 5 and 8 players per side. For Example, these varieties of football are commonly known as 5-a-side, 7-a-side or by other relevant corresponding denomination or specific name.
With this considered I propose that the text be changed to reflect this. SteadyJames (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
The proper numbers are teams between 7 and 11 player with designated goal keepers.
No one is debating the name of the game is Association football (straw man). SteadyJames (talk) 10:01, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
It says in the infobox that it is gender separated. However, since this is supposed to be a general article about football, and not the FIFA which explicitly outlaws gender mixing, this is not quite true. For example, in the highest swedish professional league Allsvenskan, both men and women are allowed to compete. It should not say in this article that it is gender-separated. 78.69.118.151 (talk) 17:52, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
The International Football Association Board maintains the Laws of the Game (LOTG), which are quite brief. FIFA co-ordinates intercontinental competitions (and oversees the continental and national federations). FIFA competitions have extra or stricter rules than LOTG: e.g. the max and min length and width of the pitch are a narrower range than Law 1; the ball must have much higher certification than Law 2; shirt designs are subject to stricter rules than Law 4; extra officials are not optional as in Law 6; etc. etc. LOTG says nothing about mixed-sex competition. A quick google football "first woman" "a men's team" gives this news story from May 2021:
My summary would be...
...though this would still need proper sourcing. It is plausible that in some places, all teams or competitions at the very youngest age levels are gender-blind. "Less formal events" includes not just street football but also competitions organised by groups not affiliated to any FA. I would link to pub league but the linked article describes FA-linked events. Maybe beer league? jnestorius(talk) 01:15, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

(help)A chance to be aggressively British (and informative and truthful). I think the IFAB vs FIFA relationship has been poorly defined. In effect (My interpretation) football is not governed by FIFA, but by IFAB. FIFA is the executive and judicial branch, with the asterix that the Swiss courts and the international Court of Arbitration for Sports also has something to do with it. But the legislative branch is clearly the IFAB, although then 50% of the IFAB votes are with FIFA. IS this interesting, relevant in the context of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.70.212.10 (talk) 03:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
