For centuries, people have been playing kicking games with a ball. The game of
soccer developed from some of these early games. The English probably gave
soccer its name and its rules. In European countries, soccer is called football.
Some people believe that the name “soccer” came from the high socks that the
players wear.
Organized soccer games began in 1863. In soccer, two teams of eleven
players try to kick or head the ball into the goal of the other team. The goal
keeper, who tries to keep the ball out of the goal, is the only player on the
field who can touch the ball with his or her hands. The other players must use
their feet, heads, and bodies to control the ball.
Every four years, soccer teams around the world compete for the World Cup. The
World Cup competition started in 1930. Brazil is the home of many great soccer
players, including the most famous player of all, Pele. With his fast dazzling
speed, Pele played for many years in Brazil and then later in New York. People
in more than 140 countries around the world play soccer. It is definitely the
world’s most popular sport!
