Football is known to be originated from the ancient Greeks and Romans as early as 388 BC. They are known to have played many ball games most of them involved use of feet.
The Roman game 'harpastum' is believed to have been adopted from a team game 'episkyros' which was exactly like football except that the team consisted of 8 players each. Some of the other games also resembled rugy football.
