1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The rules of football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863, and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other forms of football played at the time, specifically rugby football. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as a slang abbreviation of the word "association",often credited to former England captain Charles Wreford-Brown.
