What began as children kicking a ball made of rags evolved over centuries into a structured sport. Its popularity spread across Europe, with communities formalizing rules and organizing matches. The game's simplicity—just a ball and feet—captured hearts globally, transcending borders and cultures to become the world's most beloved sport, connecting people worldwide through its universal appeal and competitive spirit."
