The history of football - Summary on a Map

Hello dear subscribers, let's retrace on a map the great historical steps that made football the most popular sport in the world. I hope you like it! If so, remember that you can support the channel by putting a like on the video and by sharing it. Cheers!

I love how you make sure to tie in all the historical factors at the time. The journey of this sport is really incredible

Never expected Geo History to pull out a history documentary on Football.

The admin knows how to cash in on the craze of the world cup

I feel like the Christmas Armistace could have been mentioned, but this was a great presentation.

Fun fact: First football in Croatia was from a British and French guy which were there to inspect harvesting of oak trees for wine barels

An interesting fact about 'Mob Football'. There is a town in England called Ashbourne (Derbyshire) where they still play this every year on Shrove Tuesday. It is called 'Shrovetide'. The people who live on the 'Upper' side of the river play against those who live on the 'Lower' side of the river. Uppers vs Downers. It gets quite serious - all of the shops board up their windows, for instance.

I’ve been watching Geo History as a study tool for my AP World History class, and was shocked to find out that they have made a video completely dedicated to Football. I’m thankful to them for putting in the key factors of history that went through the journey of this sport. It’s fun to see the sport of many cultures to be played world wide.

What could have been mentioned aswell is the 1995 Bosman ruling. This transformed football in Europe and made money, agents and trasfers explode. That is also why no clubs from smaller countries can't make it far in the European cups any more.

Just discovered the channel this morning and loving it. Really pleased you included the historical tie with rugby football and the fact that until the late 19th century this was a shared history, rather than the myth that rugby football just appeared as an offshoot of Association Football. Good work. Would love to see a video on the history of rugby… or maybe even Wales…😊

“The first international game ends in a 0-0 draw” …what a surprise

Football is Englands gift to the world. The greatest sport ever invented, nothing else comes even close. I am 67 now and before l pop my clogs l plan to make a pilgrimage to football Mecca, Sheffield FC.

This is very nice. I love how he does other things.

Calcio Fiorentino (also known as calcio storico "historic football") is an early form of football (soccer and rugby) that originated during the Middle Ages in Italy.[1] Once widely played, the sport is thought to have started in the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. There it became known as the giuoco del calcio fiorentino ("Florentine kick game") or simply calcio, which is now also the name for association football in the Italian language. The game may have started as a revival of the Roman sport of harpastum.

Uruguay being tiny in land and population but still managing to win 2 world cups, including a david vs goliath match in world cup final 1950 never ceases to amaze me

Subscribed after the first 5 seconds. I thought it was a mistake that there was no introduction but nope, he just got straight to the point, respect

Great attention to detail with the Aral Sea shrinking

This is probably one of the last long videos about world football history without a single mention of "Messi"

i like that you added animations as well

Masterpiece 🔥🔥
